The Arcade of Lost Souls
by Joy Long
Jonah, a chef haunted by the failure of his roach-infested restaurant, sees a second chance in the old Wolfgang's Dry Goods building. But the building has a history—a revolving door of failed businesses and whispers of a curse. Soon, Jonah is plagued by visions of skittering insects and mocking voices that echo his deepest insecurities. He discovers he's been 'chosen' by the building, drawn into a horrifying game where he must play for another's life in a spectral arcade hidden in the basement. To save himself, he must win. But in this game, every player eventually becomes the next ghost in the machine.
