The response from some of the best writers on the planet: Game on! The result: Eleven stories that are twisty, scary, surprising and bursting with imagination. An egg worth more than its weight in gold. A mysterious operative known only as Owl. An eagle-watcher who sees more than she should. Even a story that somehow places the Maltese Falcon in a nursing home.

The iconic subject of lore and folktales which hints at supernatural occurrences, tragedy, and family curses that can be neither confirmed nor denied.
