Creatures of the living and the dead gather in a volume of over 70,000 words to stalk their prey...humans. 20 stories set the scene for a cast ranging from the Grim Reaper, shambling zombies and restless spirits, to unimaginable monsters that only inhabit the shapeless darkness and the author's imagination. Join them as they wreak havoc on their unsuspecting victims and celebrate with a victory dance on hollowed bones! New and previous published material can be found in Creatures and Crypts, including the second place winner of the New Bedlam short story contest-Unknowable.

John Grover
John Grover is an entrepreneur, outdoorsman, and former technology executive whose career and life have been shaped by a relentless pursuit of challenge, growth, and meaningful work.
After formative years working in Glacier National Park and guiding fly-fishing trips in Wyoming, Grover carried those lessons into the emerging technology industry during the dot-com era. At twenty-seven, he became a partner in a struggling IT services company. Over the next two decades, he helped grow the firm (now called Endsight) into a nationally recognized managed services provider with more than one hundred and seventy employees and more than thirty million dollars in annual revenue before completing his exit in 2024.
Outside of business, Grover has pursued demanding terrain around the world, including surfing, climbing, backcountry snowboarding, endurance racing, and desert canyoneering.
He lives in Northern California with his wife, Sarah, and their son. Three Streams is his first book.
