A galactic trade union uses a laboratory-created disease on an alien race - causing the creatures to produce a rare xenon gas when close to death. A charity run by a ghoul is preying on children for financial gain, and more. And the dead must face an inner truth about the living before moving on.
This short story collection spans from paranormal to science fiction. One character discovers an evil disguised as a promise of hope. Another wishes to remain in the mortal world for perhaps the wrong reason. And a criminal's past finally catches up to him.
