A compilation of 31 horror stories for my readers who enjoy no holds barred terror before turning in at night.
Hark! You should not read this book:
1. at night when you are alone.
2. during a thunderstorm that could plunge your home into pitch blackness.
3. during the full moon, particularly when the wolfbane blooms.
4. around a campfire after dark in a dense forest.
5. if the news reported a deranged maniac escaped from the local asylum.
6. if you live next door to a haunted house or a graveyard.
7. if your parents did not let you watch scary movies as a child.
8. if you believe in ghosts, demons or the Loch Ness monster.
9. if you have rats in the cellar or bats in your belfry.
10. if limbs being hacked off makes you quesy.
I have selected my most gruesome nightmares from "Black As Night" and "Shivers and other nightmares." This followup to "Thrillers & Chillers" includes vampires, werewolves, boogeymen, and a sampling of monsters, aliens, and various deranged maniacs to haunt your dreams all the lonely nights. I think the cover graphically depicts the no holds barred severity of the stories that lurk inside these pages. Enjoy!
