For this anthology, we asked our authors to thrill us, and they didn't disappoint. Thrills can mean different things to different folks, and when you are Askew, you never know what you will discover when you look. In these pages, you will find action, adventure, romance, fear, and a host of writing that spans genres and styles. From hard-hitting fantasy with a half-dragon hero, to diabolical science fiction, where the plot twists will grab you and never let go. The ride includes a little of everything, from the thrills of a rediscovered lost love, to the chills of scientific experiment gone horribly awry. It is only fair to let you know that there ARE some very strong and explicitly narrated stories inside. If you are easily frightened, or squeamish, you may want to find a hand to hold before you start reading.
