"Giron deserves a place beside the top mistresses of the dark." -Hellnotes "You won't find another book like this one out there. If you want lust, insanity and horror plaited together into one easy and fun-to-read diabolical story, Captured Souls is for you!" -Nancy Kilpatrick, author of Power of the Blood "Horrific and unforgettable." -Lisa Mannetti, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Gentling Box, on Captured Souls The secrets of life...and death! For centuries scientists have sought the secrets of life itself. However, these experiments have often gone very, very wrong. Gathered together in this volume for the first time are two novellas by Sephera Giron that show exactly how terrifying these attempts can be. In Captured Souls, Dr. Miriam Frederick is determined to create the perfect human specimen-and the perfect lover-with decidedly unexpected results. And in Flesh Failure, a young woman pulls herself out of a shallow grave to roam the foggy streets of Jack the Ripper's London, desperate to find answers...and what she needs to remain alive!"
