This collection melds three previous short story collections into one ball of different types of terrors that haunt us. Scary stories where people meet their fate in a number of ways. Some are deserved, while some come from pits of evil for the innocent. You never know whether Death or salvation is just around the corner.
Monsters, mayhem, and murder: everything from war to everyday homicide, to otherworldly terrors from hell dimensions. The horror may be internal or external, in your heart or in your cellar. These are stories to make you think, tremble, and shiver with fright— and lock your doors at night— even though it may not do any good...

The author had Stephen King as a writing teacher, and the book is dedicated to him.
