These two stories are perhaps even better known as films (The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock and Don't Look Now by Nic Roeg), but here we bring you the full terrifying texts, superbly read by Peter Capaldi, who brings the true dimension of these works to the imagination.

    

    Hunted for a crime she did not commit and with a price on her head she has survived this long because she didn’t allow anyone to get too close. She’d been betrayed before, a pain she never wanted to experience again. But she is about to learn the hard way that fate is a fickle and capricious creature. When Sam, the one man she never thought she’d never see again, lands in her lap with a serious case of amnesia and the message ‘find Olivia’ scrawled across his arm, she finds herself facing the past she tried so hard to run from. Even knowing its a bad idea she reluctantly agrees to help him recover his memories and find the mysterious ‘Olivia’ so that she can send him on his way with a clear conscience, sounds so simple, right? There’s just one problem. Sam’s the one who betrayed her, only he has no memory of those events at all. Suddenly everything isn’t so black and white and the more of Sam’s memories they recover the more she questions her own memories of those dark days. Pursued by Angels and Demons alike as they tried to piece back together Sam’s damaged mind, Scarlett finds the lines blurring. Unable to tell friend from foe, she has no idea who to trust with her life and Sam’s, but the closer they get to the answers the more she comes to realize that the one person she needs the most is the one who hurt her in the worst way. When her enemies begin to close in she is faced with a choice, save herself or risk everything for the man who betrayed her, knowing that it may cost her her life.

Praise for Michael Kurland: "A perfect tale of childhood terror." - Tom Kasey Michael Kurland grew up in New York City, attended Columbia University, spent four years in the Army, much of it in Europe, and now lives in California with his partner, novelist Linda Robertson, a dog, a cat, and an occasional visiting family of raccoons. He has been a teacher of obscure subjects to disinterested children, the editor of a magazine even more idiosyncratic than himself, a seeker of absent persons, a magical explainer, and guest lecturer at numerous unrelated events. Kurland has written a dozen or so science fiction novels, a brace of mysteries, and several books that fit into that tenuous genre known as “mainstream.” He has been nominated for an Edgar (twice) and for the American Book Award. His books have been translated into eleven other languages. His other novel with Venture Press is Psi Hunt.
