Synopsis ~

The creatures inhabiting the pages of this anthology come in all shapes and sizes. Some are deceptively normal until you get to know them – and others reveal at a glance that they are to be avoided at all cost. A cuddly patchwork monkey, a phantom spirit of the night, a basilisk of old – these are among the horrors presented. Like recurrent nightmares, they will return to haunt you.
