| Synopsis: | From the back cover ~
The creatures inhabiting the pages of this anthology come in all shapes and sizes. Some are deceptively normal until you get to know them – and others reveal at a glance that they are to be avoided at all cost. A cuddly patchwork monkey, a phantom spirit of the night, a basilisk of old – these are among the horrors presented. Like recurrent nightmares, they will return to haunt you.
The scope and variety of the nine stories comprising this collection insure that every reader's spine will be tingled. And the illustrations by Rod Ruth - both in full color and in black and white -- bring each "baleful beast" and "eerie creature" to life in frightening detail. Though the stories presented here are by no means bedtime fare for the weak of heart, a delightful shiver or two is in store for the reader with courage.
