Curious Tales Wrought by Quarantine

2020 is the year everyone wanted to return to 2019. Failing that, a group of city friends coping through social-distance try to enliven the boredom & anxieties wrought by quarantine, dwindling wages, and social unrest during the hottest summer on record by entertaining themselves with homespun horror tales --- until a real horror show comes over the newsfeed, threatening the very lives of each of them.

Among this collection of short stories is one with a scary prediction for Inauguration Day 2021, followed by another futuristic tale about the most dangerous of exports.
