If a woman screams her last dying breath and no one is close enough to hear her...does she make a sound?
Welcome to "Doses of Death," a compilation of stories focused on two important themes; death and small towns. Though they are all quite different in nature, they reflect upon "Ruraltopia." Turn the pages, if you dare, and help yourself to the dark side of small town living. If you are one of the many who thought or are thinking of moving to a small town to "get away from it all," then read this book before you make a life-altering decision. It just might have you running and screaming back to the big city. For just as large flocks of animals realize; we are all hunted by something much larger... some will die...but there is more safety in numbers.
"Flowers of Fortune" by J.L. Campbell, featured in "Doses of Death," reveals a glimpse into the nightmarish life of Morgan Leonard, who lost his child to the grave and his wife to depression, anger, and blame. After relocating to the Great North Woods of New Hampshire, strange visions haunt his dreams...visions that will alter his life in ways he could never foresee.
