 In this witch's brew of dark delights, read two terrifying tales with a botanical twist, a spine-chilling warning against timkering with Mother Nature, discover a debt with horrific consequences and dare to watch a mind-bending motel television set. Then round it all off, by way of a detour to each of two misfits with equally grisly penchants, with a visit to the moors of Victorian Scotland, where roams a creature neither man nore beast...
"If you like to read while goosebumps roam free, if you like to read just to be spooked, and if you cannot keep your eyes away from the book even whenen you are scared/disgusted/horrified, this collection is for you." -
