Children: A Horror Short Story by Kristine Kathryn Rusch

McIntyre tries everything he can think of to escape his family legacy. Regardless of his efforts, the end remains the same: death. McIntyre learned to deal with death long ago, but when the same legacy threatens his son, McIntyre knows he must find a new way to fight or he’ll lose everything. “[Rusch’s horror stories are] horror in the same way that Robert Bloch’s Psycho is—horror of the soul.” —Locus
