There is a Reaper ...

There is a Reaper ... by Charles V. De Vet grabs you from the first chilling image and never lets go, a short-story collection that fuses scientific curiosity with ghostly dread. Across tales that read like literary horror and speculative science fiction, De Vet follows desperate minds who bargain with death, experiment with forbidden remedies, and pry open the threshold between life and whatever comes after. Storylines range from a terminal diagnosis that pushes a man to consult the dead, to experiments inspired by remote indigenous lore, to moral reckonings where ambition becomes a catalyst for terror. The prose channels the tense, suspenseful energy of classic weird fiction while probing modern anxieties—mortality, ethical cost, and the consequences of trying to buy time. Atmospheric settings and convincingly flawed narrators make each piece a compact study in fear and fascination. Perfect for listeners who love short stories, horror/ghost stories, and science-tinged literature, this audiobook rewards fans of thought-provoking chills and pulpy eeriness alike. Choose it if you crave compact, unsettling tales that linger after the final line and spark questions about life, death, and the price of forbidden knowledge.
