About
The Discarded Treasures anthology brings you stories of the dark side of humanity. The stories include the horrors if you will of one of mankind's cruelest of rituals, collecting and discarding that which we once coveted and eventually discarded when we no longer found them relevant or desirable. Some bring back warm fuzzies while others return accompanied by fear or the scars of emotional and physical pain. These are the stories of terror presented within; memories of childhood toys, holidays, family, mind monsters, shattered beliefs, broken relationships, or the psychotic madness of hitchhikers, perverts, psychopathic killers, ex-lovers...
