Survival is wired into the DNA of every human being. We fear death as a species and will fight to our final breath to live. Horror stories have a knack for testing the ability to survive amid unspeakable and unimaginable circumstances.
Samak Press presents a new horror anthology, Feral Lands, featuring eight stories from eight talented authors – all exploring survival on the fringes of civilization. Experience terror from deep jungles to the far reaches of space.
