Petty Zoo — Susie Moloney

Nothing is more important than quality time for working moms, but when an afternoon trip to the petting zoo goes horribly wrong, one young mom looks to Walt for rescue. From Michael Van Rooy Award-winning and bestselling author Susie Moloney's Things Withered, this short story is one of a set of fourteen tales of lingering suburban horror and all-too human darkness.
