Description
Naomi and Fiona placed their fingertips on either side of the wooden triangle. A shiver as faint as a whimper crawled down Bobby’s spine as the exact year of his death was revealed.
As a young, curious 10-year-old, Bobby is reluctant to believe the fate that the Ouija board reveals…but as he grows into adulthood, the pieces of that dark prophecy propel him towards his inevitable end.
Strange occurrences plague Bobby and he struggles to hide the truth from his family. Each clue leads to the next, but he knows the ultimate answer will be his end. Can the future be altered if you know the outcome? Or will his efforts be in vain?
A supernatural, psychological thriller that will leave you wondering: “What are you willing to do for the ones you love?”
Bonus Story: The Widower
After the sudden death of his wife, David is plagued by lucid nightmares and severe depression as he suffers alone in the empty house that was his wife's dream. Alone except for whatever it is that's causing his nightmares, leaving black bristles all over his clothes, and wafting forth a horrible smell from a closed off room on the first floor.
Paralysis seized David like a stroke. Terror rocketed through his organs. The ability to move escaped him, taken over by something too powerful to resist. All he could do was watch as the creature moved closer toward him.
Advance Praise
This novella was a page turner, and I had no idea the twists that awaited me. To say that I loved this book is an understatement. This is not your average Ouija board story. It is so much more. I will be thinking about this one for a long time to come. -Deb Soward
A full-on horror story in true Manx style. It’s a gut-wrencher. It wrung my emotions, made me laugh out loud, and made me gasp when the completely unpredictable twist slapped me without warning. I feel the need to say thank you to the author, for bonus stories are always a gift and this one is truly appreciated. -Lisa Lee~Bibliophilia Templum

This is the kind of story that got me started reading horror. We fall immediately into the story, and there aren't any bad guys, but there is mystery and the supernatural and a little bit of horror. I cared about the family so much, and this short story was so satisfying.
Then when the story is over, there's a very short story that's pure horror. So much fun! I'll be reading a lot more by this guy. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

Very quick read! I enjoyed how the writing made it seem like I was reading a movie. I loved the early creepiness it gave but soon after a bitter sweet ending.

Bobby Canfield’s mysterious memories of his youth transpired on the night of June 26th 1988. At a young age he encounters little girls playing a strange type of board game. One that is decorated with letters, numbers, signs and words. One that allows spirits to contact the living. One that has relayed a very discouraging message to Bobby.
Piece By Piece by Daemon Manx is a short story centered around an ancient ouija board. This Splatterpunk award nominee writer takes the reader on an eerie journey where cryptic messages are not only disturbing but also reveals the frailty of life, family and business. Told in an inauspicious setting of spiritual foreboding, this author’s stained teardrop planchette controls ominous warnings and speculative truths that will literally send icy chills up the spine. The lesson has been told…appreciate the simple things in life, before it’s too late.
As an extra bonus, when you purchase Piece By Piece, you receive an additional short story of intense darkness dwelling under the floor beams, concealing itself inside the crawl space of an occupied home. If both of these conceptions of unsettling suspense sounds appealing to you, then hold your planchette delicately with fingertips and let the spirits guide you to YES.
