When passengers begin to disappear from her flight, a cabin crew member faces the childhood fears she thought she'd long overcome. At his mother's funeral, a magician contemplates a family curse.

MJ Mars has arranged each story, each piece, into its proper place with sinister precision, daring the reader to make the first move. Narratively, she's always three steps ahead of you, waiting to unearth fears you didn't know you had. From urban legends to aliens, cryptids to curses, this author wants to play a game, if you're up for it." - Nick Roberts, author of Mean Spirited and The Exorcist's House."After a stellar debut, Mars shows she can sink her teeth into you regardless of the setting with We've Already Gone Too Far. I had a blast with this collection, and you will too!" - John Durgin, author of Kosa and The Cursed Among Us."If you like creatures of all sorts, this is the collection for you! I can't get enough of even loosely "themed" single-author collections, and I am a huge fan of cryptids, monsters, and creatures so this scratched an itch I've had for a long time. MJ's quirkiness and unusual combination of settings and plot details are both charming and absolutely brilliant. She has a sharp and ingenious sense of humor that most people couldn't execute in such terrifying, violent, and creepy works. She is so incredibly talented. If you have been waiting around to check out her longer work, give this collection a go for just a taste of what she is capable of." - Megan Stockton, author of Lovely, Dark & Deep and Bluejay."A wildly imaginative - and often very cruel - collection of dark fiction that's well worth the price of admission." - Duncan Ralston, author of Woom and the Ghostland Trilogy.
