In “In the Devil’s Footsteps,” Satan’s steed carries a young horseman into nightmare visions of humanity.

STORY EXCERPT:

          I turned down the devil’s offer of “best of three?” and claimed my prize: the midnight-black, fire-snorting mount known as Nightmare. For a young man running away from home, a horse seemed just the thing, but the ancient oak that marked the borders of the family farm was barely out of sight over my shoulder before I began to have serious doubts. I wasn’t a natural horseman and it was quickly obvious I wasn’t the one in control. I’d had no particular destination in mind, but that magnificent and terrifying steed took me places I would never have gone by choice.

          The thundering hooves left flaming prints in our wake and a swirling cloud engulfed us as we rode, pierced by Nightmare’s coal-red eyes. Little wonder no obstacles dared stand in our path . . .
