From waking fears to heart-breaking nightmares, this collection of short fiction is a glimpse into the terrors we face every day from the mind of Robert P. Ottone. In “The Arborist,” a woman hears the mysterious call of the forest. Five friends exploring an archipelago find themselves set upon by the island’s hungry inhabitants in “The Monitors.” A young woman confronts the mystery of her infertility in “Kelly Watch the Stars.” These works are joined by the title novella, Her Infernal Name, about the cruel intersection of desire and desperation, and many other stories crafted in the hopes of keeping you up at night.
