Afraid of the Dark; Tales of da Yoopernatural, Vol. 3

the absolute darkness of the haunted Laughing Eagle Mine before they cost him his

nightmare world carved out of the ancient basalt of the Keweenaw
Peninsula.

the gap between man and nature. But is it already too late for Bruce to escape his social
preconditioning? This tale demonstrates that the greatest struggle is not
between man and nature, but between man and his own mindset.
