This is the first print version of HELLFIRE CROSSROADS. Volumes 1 - 5 are available from Amazon as eBooks. All the stories in this volume are original and previously unpublished. There is a wide range of subject matter here, but the one thing all the stories have in common is that, in some way, they touch the heart; they have an emotional impact. You may not be familiar with many of the writers, but here is an opportunity to savour the richness that great writing provides. Here is the future. There is also work from those who are commanding a wider audience as the talent they demonstrate becomes clear to more people. Be careful to avoid finding yourself at the crossroads where the gateway to Hell waits for the unwary traveller. Enjoy!
