In the dead of night, a ferry makes its final crossing with only a handful of passengers. When an unseen force begins hunting them, survival becomes a game of diminishing numbers. One by one, they fall, until only one man remains to face what lurks in the darkness.

A siren wails across a quiet Midwestern community—but this is no tornado warning. Armed guards block every road out of town. Black SUVs prowl the streets, executing anyone caught outside. The residents are trapped in their own homes, watching their neighbors die, desperate to understand why their town has become a killing ground.

A crew of small-time thieves receives a tip about an empty mansion ripe for the taking. Easy money. No risk. But the house isn’t empty, and something inside is waiting. As the crew is picked off one by one, it becomes clear that some scores are too good to be true.

Random Synapse Misfire, Vol. One delivers three visceral tales of terror where the familiar turns fatal and nowhere is safe. From dark seas to suburban streets to the dark corners of a stranger’s home, these stories prove that horror strikes without warning—and without mercy.

Perfect for fans of intense, fast-paced horror in the tradition of Stephen King and Richard Matheson.
