The line between madness and greatness is as delicate as a golden silk thread. It's a tricky balancing act to dance upon this fragile line for those seeking greatness. An outsider may perceive the endeavor as wandering a road toward insanity and crumbling dreams. However, in the eyes of the beholder, they don't see themselves as walking a tightrope between genius and insanity but rather paving a road to success-where no expense is spared. Madness and Greatness Can Share the Same Face is a collection of thirteen dark fiction tales that spiderweb across space and time to explore the line where, with a step, one can be pitched into the realm of greatness or depths of madness. Come into a twisted universe that follows two women's harrowing lives living with a monster in ""The Voiceless"". Take a boat ride with a lonely lobsterman who rediscovers his son only to lose him again in ""Of Sharks and Dreams"". Understand the depths of a father's love for his daughter during an apocalyptic catastrophe in ""Carrion Eaters"". Watch as a genetic scientist's obsession with a creature in his dreams mutates into a horrific nightmare in ""The Faunling"". And experience the freedom a young woman finds when faced by a God in ""Where the Elk Roam"". Watch your step as you dance upon the thin line between madness and greatness.

"Monsters exist and Korin Perrin knew this as truth because his grandmother told him so. Korin, raised in the shadow of his older brother Davis, is an imaginative child who believes his brother is a monster. After the death of their grandmother, seven-year-old Korin, blaming Davis for her demise, tries to kill him. Sixteen years following the attempt on Davis' life, racked with guilt, Korin comes to terms with the fact that Davis may not be the one who is the monster after all. Past wrongs needing to be righted, Korin agrees to a hunting trip with his brother and father. But they, along with two friends, never make it to their destination. An accident along the way separates the hunters in the dark forests of Minnesota during the threat of an oncoming blizzard. As the stranded hunters search for each other and safety, an ancient evil wakes."--Page [4] of cover.
