Creatures from the sea and space … and sometimes even both. Phantoms from a city’s history, and from a middle-aged man’s haunted past. The perils of computer dating, and the dangers posed by creatures that you cannot even see. And very worst of all, the monsters created by an innocent young child’s imagination. Here are a dozen stories that will quicken your heart and freeze the very marrow in your bones. Don’t read them at too late an hour … for who knows what nightmares might come?
