    In Tales of the Macabre & Bizarre, C.J. Mack delivers a gripping collection of dark, imaginative short stories that blur the line between reality and nightmare.

    From a lone man awakening on a Martian archive of humanity’s last hope…
    to a death row inmate forced to survive the apocalypse…
    to a world where your smart home decides you are the problem…

    Each story drags you into a different corner of the unknown—where the rules shift, morality bends, and survival is never guaranteed.

    • Dark science fiction that questions humanity’s future

    • Supernatural horror where the dead don’t stay buried

    • Twisted satire that feels a little too real

    • Action-packed dystopian worlds where power comes at a cost

    • Unexpected endings that stay with you long after the final page

    They are warnings.
    They are questions.
    They are glimpses of worlds just one step beyond our own.

    On the edge of a vast and ancient forest stands the Temple of Vass—an order devoted not to power, but to justice.

    Abandoned as an infant and known only as 347, he is raised within its stone walls, taught that law is not enough—that true justice requires balance, wisdom… and restraint.

    When he chooses the path of a paladin, he is sent into a fractured world where law is twisted by the powerful, truth is buried beneath fear, and mercy is often seen as weakness.

    From corrupt rulers and broken towns…
    To bandits driven by desperation…
    To monsters lurking in shadow…

    He must decide, again and again:

    Is justice the letter of the law… or the spirit behind it?
