In a lonely farmhouse in the middle of nowhere, a terrible crime has been committed. The police think single mother Mandy has killed her nine-month-old son.

But that isn't the crime: what she killed was not Connor. And if it wasn't her son, then who, or what, did she slaughter?

"Barren's Crib" is a bloody mess, a desperate attempt by a frantic mother to uncover the truth of the thing sleeping in her son's bed. Will she find her son before it's too late? And who will believe her story in the end?

"Barren's Crib" was originally published in CAMP HORROR Magazine in 2004.
