The No. 1 bestselling author's first classic collection of short stories which showcases the depths of his brilliant imagination - now with a stunning new cover look. A collection of tales to invade and paralyse the mind as the safe light of day is infiltrated by the shadows of the night. As you read, the clutching fingers of terror brush lightly across the nape of the neck, reach round from behind to clutch and lock themselves, white-knuckled, around the throat.
