It’s the original anthology series that weds horror and eroticism for a heart-stopping orgasm of consummate terror! Here you’ll find stories of supernatural seductions, in which creatures unimagined— and unimaginably terrifying—commingle with humans for eternal nights of bliss . . . and blasphemy! And here too are stories set in our all-too-real world, where a one-night stand can end up spawning life-threatening consequences. Where today’s fantasies become tomorrow’s nightmares. Where the ultimate act of intimacy becomes the supreme act of betrayal—or worse.

TERRIFYING STORIES THAT WILL LEAVE YOU SHUDDERING AT EVERY BARELY GLIMPSED SHADOW—Once again, Karl Edward Wagner has dared to prowl where many fear to tread, seeking out the finest tales of terror by such masters of malice and mayhem as Ramsey Campbell and Ed Gorman—haunting and harrowing legends calculated to strike fear in the hearts of even the most stalwart readers.A photographer whose obsession with images may bring to life trouble beyond his wildest fantasies…. A couple caught up in an ancient ritual that offers the promise of unending health, but at a price that may prove far too high…. A woman whose memory may be failing her with the passing years—or for a far more unnatural reason…. These are just three of the provocative, imagination-grasping stories included in this year’s ghoulish gallery.
