J.V. Sadler's first collection of short stories tip-toes the waking and unconscious world.
Take a peek into the upside-down world of Licking.
Transcending reality, these stories integrate a diabolical twist to the mundane. In the title story, a couple's hopes for a baby turn sour; "The Baboon" is a story of self-deprecation gone wrong; in "Unafraid" a woman will do anything to overcome her fears; eavesdrop on a dysfunctional family in "Family: Dinner"; a crowd struggles to save a dying woman in "Almost"; and many more twisty stories that will have you questioning the everyday hustle and bustle.

This book is a collection of short stories, some scarier than others.
The Decrepit Ones is a story of young children in a museum surrounded by guards with guns and children locked in a bathroom crying.
Baboon is a story of bullying something that happens every day in schools around the nation.
Yappy is about meeting a man on a dating app and the repercussions of doing so.
Family Dinner, a story of abuse and what one wife will do to end it.
Trapped: Chained is about two men kidnapped, chained with their legs cut off and left by themselves. It was a very scary story.
All the stories managed to leave me with goosebumps.
