Synopsis
Some tales in this collection were inspired by H. P. Lovecraft, others he revised, two he co-authored--but all bear the mark of the master of primordial terror.
- The Horror in the Museum -- Locked up for the night, a man will discover the difference between waxen grotesqueries and the real thing.
- The Electric Executioner -- Aboard a train, a traveler must match wits with a murderous madman.
- The Trap -- This mirror wants a great deal more than your reflection.
- The Ghost - Eater--In an ancient woodland, the past comes to life with a bone-crunching vengeance.
