Death in the Drylands
Description
"The restless sands cover and reveal..."
Contrary to popular belief, the desert teems with life. During the unimaginable baking of the open sun, life hides in shadows and burrows, but at night, when the land releases heat into the icy air, that which creepeth unto the earth creepeth out.
Life in a desert forgives nothing, and the darkest of life, the most secret of life, even less so. Beware the things with no eyes, beware the things with wide eyes, and most of all, beware the mysteries of the deserts, for those mysteries have teeth, hunger, and a deep, deep thirst.
In volume nine of Terror Stories from the Territories, discover eleven unsettling tales of terror, borne from the restless timeless sands that gnaw at reality, as transcribed from the lost journals of Jack Harlowe, an enigmatic traveler, an adventurous man whose face is as trustworthy as his pen is eager, and an observer of the human condition we know as terror.
