Night Monsters
A collection of stories.
GALLERY OF HORROR
In this
collection of grisly and terrifying stories you will find your darkest
fears depicted – a phantom seen in a mirror reflection at midnight which becomes only too real... a weird girl who practices a rather different
kind of vampirism... a malignant, inexorable intelligence which lurks in murky oil deposits beneath the earth's bony crust... These and other
black gems of the fantasist's art await your discovery – if you dare to
look within...
