Moon on the Water
21 stories of horror by Mort Castle, a master of the short story.
"The stories (in Moon on the Water) are by turns funny, moving, surprising and dark. Mort Castle is a writer who loves word-play, but like every writer worth his salt remembers that even for kids, play is a serious business. From the heart and from deep down under your skin. You'll race through one of these yarns effortlessly and then sit back and stew on it for awhile." - Jack Ketchum, author of The Girl Next Door
