VEILS
1903, San Francisco. Eva Tanguay is a burlesque dancer at the top of her game on the glitzy vaudeville circuit. She's erotic, hypnotic, and will do anything to maintain her top-billing status. When Eva attends a performance in an out-of-the-way theater one night, she discovers that she's not the only one capable of delivering a dark--and malevolent--thrill. Winner of an HONORABLE MENTION in THE YEAR'S BEST FANTASY AND HORROR.

COLDER STILL
1895, Yukon Flats. Alaska in the dead of winter is no place for anyone--much less a woman in her last trimester of pregnancy. But Samantha has no choice. Her small mining town has been overrun by the flesh-eating dead. As Samantha flees across the subzero tundra, she learns all too quickly that the greatest threat to her baby's survival is yet to come.

CATEGORY FIVE
2005, New Orleans. An elderly trumpet player and his cancer-ridden wife are trapped in their home during Hurricane Katrina. But weather is the least of their worries. They listen in horror as the radio spins tales of disinterred bodies coming back to life--a terrifying claim the trumpet player will put to the ultimate test when the hungry dead invade his flooding home.
