In The Shadows: Weird Tales that Chill and Shock
By David Stuart Davies
Settle into your easy chair, but be sure to leave the lights on! This collection of twenty-five tales of the macabre and uncanny will keep you up at night.
As a child, were you ever worried that someone, or something, was watching you from a shadowy corner of your bedroom? What if that earnest stage magician is more than a mere illusionist? Have you ever been unsettled by a doll that seemed just a little too life-like?
What happens when a horror author finds himself trapped in his own tale?
All these and more await you if you dare to venture In The Shadows...
