Through Dark Into Light

by Craig Gusmann

From childhood a man is stalked by a creature that tells him the secrets of those he loves. A man's dream is a woman's nightmare until she turns the tables. The captain of a generation ship uses its resources to clone the wife he left behind. A woman on her deathbed negotiates a deal with an Angel for three more days to make amends with her estranged son. A teenager runs over a family dog and is haunted by the memory--and the dog.

This eclectic collection guides readers from the darkness of a moonlit highway to a field under the warm light of a late summer sunset. Through these 18 stories and 7 poems you will feel emotions that spill out in great waves of yelling, crying, and laughing and be reminded that sometimes the best way out is through.

Every short story was a full story - intriguing and often emotional. I loved the twists showcased in both the horror and love stories. Fantastic read.
