Synopsis

People spend their entire lives staving off the dark—but no matter the measures taken, black paths and shadowy pits lurk in the unlikeliest of places, waiting to pull the unwary into the depths of despair.These eleven tales offer a morbid sampling of the many forms and fashions of terror—from the subtle prickling of neck hairs at the kiss of a ghostly breeze to the raw-throated screams and feverish clawing of a desperate fight for survival.Witness eleven people torn from their ordinary lives and cast into twisted realities that test their sanity, faith, and very will to live…A pilot must land a crippled aircraft on an impossible runway…A doctor feels far too much sympathy for his deformed patients…A schoolgirl’s secret contract could cost her mother’s soul…A woman whose pack-rat obsessions hide the obscene…For these and seven others, the darkness comes from within and without, subtle, deadly…and relentless.
