Beneath the cover of this book lies a world of shadow people. A world that displays the different sides of people that are revealed only when the light changes position. Stories of dystopias, manic inner thoughts, and prudent ravens are just some of the threads woven within these chapters that explore the hidden layers of the human psyche. In order to understand our inspiration, find a dark corner and light a candle; cast just enough illumination to catch a glimpse of an inner self. Here, rather than admiring the rose, we are examining the thorns, the sharp edges, the blurred images, the distorted reflection. We present to you a collection of knots made from the personalities, worries, phobias, and images of both real and imaginary people, some easy to pick apart, others never to be straightened. Please, look as deep as you want. Find yourself tangled in the intrigue and abysses of facets and falseness that entwine the pages of this anthology.

Reach outside the fog that encapsulates your world. Rid yourself of limits and see reality unfurled. Stretch beyond your senses in this anthology of short stories and poems, where words can bruise your skin and cats can speak their minds. This collection of eerie writings embodies the fantastical, and sometimes frightening edges that encircle the world we live in. Every piece of prose and poetry reaches into the darker, mystical recesses of the human mind, calling forth the pieces of reality that are not always certain. Superstitions, black cats, hidden monsters, and dancing shadows drift through the pages of this chilling yet intriguing anthology. Become Twisted in an abundance of imagination that blurs the lines between our rippling realities.
