Description
Those who believe in the cold light of reason and its certain triumph over darkness are in for a surprise. These select tales are meant to arouse nervousness not to be overcome by simple rationality. There are situations, occurrences, images that will take that reader to the very extremes of this imagination, and he will be inevitably drawn in to play the perverse game of excitement-by-fright with the writer. Written by the best in the genre, this collection has some of the most incredible tales of panic and thrill, horror and alarm. The reader will find himself grappling with the mystery about an incredible ghost, the terror of a perfect murder, the adventures in cold stormy nights, the guile of cunning spirits, and the fearful wrath of the dead.
Free reign has been given t the wild elements of the night to make each reader shudder in the dark!
