The Collector's Curse

For house flipper Alex, it was just another abandoned home filled with forgotten junk. But hidden inside an antique desk, he found an obsession. A stone beetle, uncannily lifelike, that called to him. Now, it moves when he's not looking. It whispers in his dreams. It has unfolded its bladed legs in his sleeping hand, and it demands more than just a place on his shelf. It wants to burrow deep, to collect a price paid in blood and sanity.
