Human curiosity demands you step into the darkness—even though you may never reemerge.William McNally offers up four distinct pools of darkness, each with its own macabre attraction. In “Engine Eighteen,” Anna Sanchez and a scared group of Mexican immigrants put their trust in one of the human border smugglers known as coyotes.

She’s willing to take that risk, but is she willing to hazard her soul?“Return to Nowhere” tells the story of Jack Reynolds, a huckster and card cheat with a unique ability.
