Heart-thumping Horror! 16 Dark Tales of Devilish Delight!

The Cocoon: "Something came through the door and half crawled, half fluttered to Denny's bed. Then it wormed its way beneath the sheet and rested like a sticky pulp upon Denny's mouth."

Miss Gentilbelle: "The parakeet screamed for a considerable time... When it was silent, the white fingers that clutched it were stained with a dark thin fluid."

Party Pieces: "From the kitchen there came a noise of throbbing - a terrible, low heartbeat, drumming remorselessly..."
