    About this ebook

    From the Publisher

    Where were you on 9/11/01? Wherever you were, the city suddenly became an international focus of terror. The giant Twin Towers of finance were specifically chosen by terrorists for their symbolic power. It was almost as if they could destroy our symbols; then they could also destroy us. Little did they know that the city has its own way of survival, and that survival is our topic for this week’s stories.
    In the lead story, “Forevermore,” E. Z. Graves tells the story of a decorated Union Civil War hero who wants to prove that his artist hero, Edgar Allan Poe, did not die in infamy in Baltimore.
    In our second story, “Masquerade,” Maggie Denton brings us a city with creatures that are bio-engineered to cover their real monstrosity. They are following Arlen, and he is aware of them and the city that protects them.
    Next, in a provocative story called “Groomsman,” by Brian Kirk, a young man just wants a little taken off the top, but this barber is employed by some people who give closer haircuts than the lad ever bargained for.
    Finally, in a weird story by Amanda Davis called “Jelly Rules the Roost,” business was never this way in your city, perhaps, but this is a city that caters to strange appetites, and Jelly Wings is one guy who can deliver to them.
    We hope you enjoy these escapades within the city. We are here to please you in any way we can, and good fiction is just as good as coffee any day of the week. The subscription to Horror on the Installment Plan lets you read thematic horror at its best, and this will continue as long as you enjoy the ride. The city is pitiless, and it can also become ruthless to an unsuspecting visitor. If this is your first time, then pay careful attention to the twists and turns and especially those alleyways. The moment you turn your back is the most dangerous.
