Things ... things in the night, things in the house, screaming,
running, staring ... In these stories there are things that are worse
than your worst dreams.
Giant black spiders living in a tree. The terrible ghost that
waits outside a window. Empty clothes that walk. The strange
thin woman who moves through a man's picture. The boy with
the long, dirty fingernails - and a hole in his chest. The woman
who screams from the bottom of a lake. And the dry dusty old
man who reads - but has no eyes!
Here are nine stories like no others you have read.
