Of Sins and Psychos by A.K. Koonce

Sleep with the closet door shut.
Keep the blankets firmly tucked in.
And never, ever look under the bed.
Because that’s how he took me.

Instead of fearing the Sand Man who stole me away … I loved him. I killed for him. I nearly died for him.
Only my darkest sin made me see what he’d turned me into. I fled that cruel realm. I swore I’d never come back to the Kingdom of Carnal. I told myself I’d never have to look at that monster ever again.
Except now he’s taken my little sister. He’s made her his new prize possession. I won’t let him do to her what he did to me.
I’m ready. I lived through the worst nightmares anyone could imagine. I survived the most sinister things a man could do to me.
Or so I thought… until I met his brothers.
