Those Things by Joe Yang includes four short stories and a novella that feature mysterious beings, evil spirits and the descent into madness

MADISON, Wis. (MMD Newswire) April 3, 2009 -- Those Things by Joe Yang is a collection of four short horror stories and a novella highlighting a mysterious house, a couch potato who turns to murder when his cable service fails, a burned-out office worker who's receiving threatening calls from mysterious beings, a flirtatious young woman with a trail of dead ex-boyfriends and a precocious girl who's being tormented by an evil spirit. Each piece is designed to reveal how the mundane aspects of everyday life can hide a strange and sometimes dangerous reality.

"What we perceive as normalcy is nothing more than an infinite set of precarious balances that can be violently disrupted at any moment," says Yang. "For instance, there's no telling when someone's personal shortcomings will cross the thin line from everyday nuisance to complete madness. But just as people are capable of terrible things and falling to tragic depths, they are never beyond redemption."

Intended to thrill and entertain, the collection offers a wide variety of characters and conclusions. "My stories are meant to be enjoyed," Yang says. "I want readers to be scared, I want them to laugh and I want them to be hooked from the get-go. At the end of the day, my hope is that each story is time well spent."
