    About this ebook

    First published in The Horror Zine, this story was inspired by an actual event...

    It starts with a strange van parked in front of a young couple's house.

    Terror quickly unfolds for Jason and Pam when they find themselves preyed upon by a shark loving psychopath.

    His games are deadly.

    Bonus content: the first chapter of my coming of age horror novel "Fall Leaves and the Black Dragon"

    Author

    Erik Gustafson

    I spent 20 years serving in the United States Air Force, and have had the fortune to live all over the world, including Iceland, Germany, and in a tent for a year in Saudi Arabia. Always an artist at heart, I produced many paintings during my adventures. After my service, I settled down with my family (wife, two great daughters, 2 cats and a little white fluff dog) in small town Iowa, where I love to volunteer at the antique carousel. Now, I help people with intellectual disabilities to reach their potential and teach psychology classes at a local college. I switched from a paint brush to a pen and am now a horror writer, by night. I am working on my forth novel. I have been published in The Horror Zine, Horrified Press, Sirens Call Publications, Pleasant Storm Entertainment, Crypto and Co., Death Throes Webzine, and several other horror anthologies.
