From the multi-award winning novelist now comes a collection of stories by one of modern horror's most potent voices. Beginning with a ghostly romance (Tableau Vivant) through two wet hanky hauntings (ARMY BRAT and One Little Indian Boy) to downright wickedness (Nice, little old...) and the conscience shocking finale of the title story (Beyond the Pale), Malone once again delivers gripping, edge-of-your seat tension reflected through the prism of his unique brand of character driven, thought provoking spookery. So settle in, readers, put your feet up in your most comfortable chair on a stormy night or by a roaring fire, and be inextricably drawn into the shadowy emotional funhouse of America's Master of the Macabre. But be warned, grab the safety bar and hold on tight, because once the ride begins there will be no turning back until the very last white knuckled word.
