Tales of Mysterious Imagination

Cob Lighthouse's six new stories mix the supernatural with the scientific to reveal insightful truths about human nature. Whether he's writing about Hell's worst employee trying to beg off work or a small kitten warming the hearts of her entire household, Lighthouse finds the humanity in fantastic characters and situations.

The first story in this collection immediately plunges into horror when two girls stumble on a gruesome crime scene in the woods. The murder of two men eventually connects to Amos, an angel with a special mission on Earth.

The second story chronicles the lives of several cats as they get used to a new addition to the family.

Lighthouse's third story concerns a man who has lost his soul mate. A mysterious company promises a tool to help him cope, but when the man is confronted with artificial intelligence, he discovers just how human a robot can be.

Lighthouse's other stories-which feature a surprisingly sympathetic demon trying to save his job, a home health care worker in over her head, and starship captain exploring the great unknown-will not only surprise you with inventive twists but also make you think: If it were you, what would you do?
