Dark Enchantments are brief brushes with the otherworldly, where an encounter with the bizarre, the mystical, or the surreal leave the world we know turned slightly askew. Daniel R. Robichaud has made several forays into this mode of storytelling, and the Dark Enchantments series presents several of his best (and shortest) stories for fans and new readers alike.

In this volume, readers will find the contents of Five Dark Enchantments and Five More Dark Enchantments for one low price:
"Big Night for Daddy's Little Girl" tells the tall tale of a father's love for his diminutive daughter. She may have been born tiny, but she's got big dreams. Sometimes that's a good thing, and sometimes it's as far from good as heaven allows . . .

"Dzimba Dzemabwe" tells the emotionally charged story of Mvuma, a father in diseased Zimbabwe. When an American doctor arrives with big promises, he is met with suspicion. Are his promises more than wasted air? Only a worried father can find out . . .

To love and to have lost . . . This double-tap lies at the heart of many modern terror tales and ghastly yarns. It dwells in "Ashes and Nails," as well. This is surely a ghost story unlike any other.
