A little girl with a very protective teddy bear. A man who is consumed, both figuratively and quite literally, by his possessions. A haunted old saloon that wants to stay vacant. A crime scene investigator who increasingly feels trapped by the cameras of the people who photograph her. A group of teachers who are forced to participate in a deadly game of life and death. These stories and more make up Captive Readers, a collection of horror short stories that may shock you ... may haunt you ... and most certainly will captivate you.
