Approximately 53,000 words.

This book (and Russ’ other works) was posted here at BookBarista. I found it intriguing since I like weird tales. Kinda’ reminds me of the Weird Tales pulp mags from long ago. I hope the editor, Russ Anderson, Jr. can keep bringing these kinds of short stories to the world. We need more tales like this:)
