OIOS LYKOS
by M Ennenbach
OIOS LYKOS is a unique story done as only M Ennenbach can. Expect themes of small-town horror, isolation, myth, cyberpunk, and bizarro (with a musical number thrown in!).
"When I say that Mike is a stellar storyteller, I mean that in every sense of the word. He IS his own genre. There's no one like him and there never will be." -- Warn Iverson, from the Yeti Reads and Reviews.
