It's an anthology of short stories from ten different authors that take place around Azrael's Stop during Ceph's tenure there -- and beyond it. It's one last journey to the Stop, and explores life and death, friendship and motherhood, redemption and suicide, and most of all how we live our lives.Tales of the Stop is part of a larger storytelling project by Silverstring Media Inc., and is best enjoyed as a sequel to Azrael's Stop and accompanied by the Azrael's Stop Official Soundtrack.
