Seven Into the Bleak

"...When I finished the story I immediately wanted someone else to read it just so I could have someone else to discuss it with... Easily the most memorable fantasy short I've read this year."- Media Man, Vine Voice reviewer, 5 star review "...A truly terrifying short fantasy/horror adventure... of the highest quality."- Ray, Top 1000 Amazon reviewr, 5 star review  A band of companions--each with his or her own reasons--delves deep into the heart of the Bleak, the infamous and horrifying cavern world miles beneath their own. But their dreams of a quick journey fade into black when their way home is cut off.

Tavern songs dwell on heroes returning laden with loot, fame, and glory, but rarely do they talk of the fear, and loneliness, and misery of life in the World Under the World. The group of seven is hard-pressed to simply survive--both from struggles within and without-and there will be no songs to sing of the companions if they succumb to the horrors of The Bleak.
