Part 1: The End

Pursuit All things must come to an end, good or bad - even humanity.

Part 2: ...Hunh?

Heavenly Father The basement of a frat house whose kitty litter is haunted by the spirit of a priest is where we begin and end our tale.

Werewolf House A swanky college party turns into a bloodbath when werewolves crash the festivities. And wait...are those dinosaurs?

Khan Parties On I'm not even going to tell you what this story is about. I'm just going to make a somewhat accurate reference to The Town. 'I can't tell you what it is, you can never ask me about it later, and we're gonna make some people laugh and others close the book and throw it in the fire'...'whose car we takin?' That's my boy.

Part 3: Stay Strange'ing, Santa Tryna Get At Me

I hope you enjoy this zany, odd, weird and wonderful collection.
