This is a collection of short stories designed to frighten, unsettle, chill and amaze the reader. Some of these are quick and sharp, while others build slowly like a banking fire. Some of these stories have been in my family for years, and some are new for this collection. In these short narratives you can expect to find haunted houses, unexplained tragedies, monsters in human form and humans in monstrous states. You’ll meet a man whose life is unsettled by the creeping fingers of fate in Digits. Come with a young boy as he ventures somewhere he most certainly shouldn't in The Old Yellow House, and be sure to watch where you step in The Holes. See how long you can hold your breath in Water in My Room, and shake hands with the devil in Do You Remember Lucy. If you like stories to read aloud in front of a fire on a pitch black night, or just need a short tale to read while alone, then my dear reader, this collection is sure to chill your bones.
