A KINDLE SHORT STORY
The War to End All Wars is over, and a young boy in New Jersey is adjusting to life in German-occupied America. His father is dead, his mother buried in grief, and all he wants is a friend. But when the kids in the neighborhood call him words he doesn't understand like "collaborator" he builds a steam-powered friend of his own… and opens old wounds he never imagined could still bleed violence and hate.
The most ordinary of places, the most unexceptional of people, can hide the most extraordinary evil.
This original horror novel from best-selling fantasy author Philip Athans will grab you by the throat from page one and by the heart-stopping climax, will leave all your expectations completely broken.
