The Parasitorium: Terrors Within

They are the secret feeders, the stealers of life... a gambler runs afoul of those who live on luck; a vacationer discovers the beast within at the heart of darkest Africa; the city that care forgot barters in the souls of the lost; a visit to a bar kindles a nightmare of nocturnal visitations... where there is life there is something to live off it, and these 15 stories by some of speculative fiction's newest voices chronicle the sometimes Darwinian, sometimes Freudian struggle between parasite and host.
