Featured Authors: Brian Martinez and Dominic Eagle. It's a season of love, but that doesn't mean that all's well or will end well. In this episode, we have one story in which a police detective finds himself chasing a murderer with a very strange - and perhaps even supernatural - M.O., and another in which the past catches up with a happy couple to make one very unpleasant vacation.
