The Nightmare Chronicles by Douglas Clegg is $.99. Short stories. I have this, and I think it is some of his best work.
Quote:
The Bram Stoker Award-winning and International Horror Guild Award-winning short story collection -- 13 tales of disturbing horror and twisted psychological suspense from master storyteller Douglas Clegg...
It begins in an old tenement with a horrifying crime. It continues after midnight, when a young boy, held captive in a basement, is filled with unearthly visions of fantastic and frightening worlds.
How could his kidnappers know that the ransom would be their own souls?
For, as the hours pass, the boy's nightmares invade his captors like parasites -- and soon, they become real.
