A storm, a lighthouse, an angry ghost. An apocalyptic cult. A strange and new plague. A woman who feeds her darkest desire, and a woman who is consumed. A haunted and hungry house. A beastly encounter in the woods. These stories from the dark are crafted to haunt and thrill you. Each story explores what happens when someone is thrust into darkness by forces of the unnatural world. By the author of THE TAKERS and THE KNOWING, PRIMAL pushes the boundaries of speculative fiction to areas that might seem familiar but are somehow skewed, leaving the reader with questions of what it means to be human when there's a beast within.
