Terror hides its true form in the blackest of shadows, patiently waiting to unleash a neverending nightmare upon those foolish -- or daring -- enough to uncover its evil visage. From the farthest reaches of twisted imaginations to the deepest, most intimate recesses of tortured minds, this collection of heart-stopping, bone-chilling tales reveals a world of unseen, unspoken horrors that will tear at your very soul, even as they grab you by the throat. Join Ray Bradbury, Graham Masterton, Dan Simmons, F. Paul Wilson, and other masters of the macabre as they take readers to the most hideous of realms to discover the evil that lurks behind the depths of darkness.
