17 Horror Stories... that follow the money!
During and after the great depression they were traded for food, sex, shelter, and power. Twenty of the seemingly ordinary nickles carved with dark representations of world evils and imbued with magical powers that transformed the deliciously macabre bits of lost art into carriers of death, destruction, and ill luck.
Where these coins go, so does his will. Each coin is imbued with his malice and a desire for destruction.
With each life ruined... the Carver's life goes on.
Seventeen stories tell the tale of the Carver's legacy: coins designed for beauty morphed into catalysts of pain.
