Very few things are more frightening than unearthly creatures conceived by the masterminds of supernatural fiction. This collection of the macabre renders a large scope of such creatures, from the mythical beast in F. Murray Gilchrist's "The Basilisk," to the horrifying Shape in the Japanese legend Lafacadio Hearn translates as "jikininki," as well as the preternatural horse in Edgar Allan Poe's "Metzengerstein," and the ominous entries in E.F. Benson's "Caterpillars." This volume will take you from the invisible visitors in Hugh B. Cave's "Take Me, for Instance," to a child 's imagination taking on a life of it's own in Robert Weinberg's "Night Shapes."

The witches who populate these 100 delightfully scary stories include practitioners of white witchcraft and devotees of black magic.

Be warned -- not only good things, but sometimes fear comes in small packages; or, in this case, short packages.

Charmingly insidious and satisfyingly devious, these 100 baffling little mysteries selected by such prominent authors as Isaac Asimov are just the thing to suit your most malevolent mood.

Scared? You will be!

From the devious Daleks to the weird Weeping Angels and the sinister Cybermen, this title features 100 scariest monsters. It presents the facts and stats on the fearsome scary monsters.
