In “Abandon," a tour guide takes friends to visit his home village,
long-since deserted and languishing under superstition.
STORY EXCERPT:
“And . . . three, two. We’re
here in Spooksville, Transylvania with our terror tour guide, C. He’s about to
take us on a trip through an abandoned village. How did that happen?”

hundreds of abandoned villages throughout Romania.”
“But this one’s special, isn’t it?
You grew up here.”
“I did.”
“Ever see anything strange?”

—Abandon
