In this expanded edition of Robert McCammon’s classic short story collection, you will encounter horrors and delights in equal measure, including:

• A man who awakens one morning to find a skeleton in bed where his wife had been the night before.
• A small-time thief who steals a makeup case, and learns a dead horror star's secret.
• A roadside diner, where a Vietnam veteran comes seeking shelter from the storm.
• A young man in prison, who finds beauty and hope on the wings of a yellow bird.
• Halloween in a very special residential area, where trick-or-treating is deadly serious.
• A red house on a street of gray houses, and a breath of sweet fire.
• The adventures of a has-been serial hero, who dons his old costume and goes in search of a serial killer.
• A priest obsessed by a porno star, and his realization that both of them are being stalked by a third shadow.
• An old woman who channels early, simpler times in a melancholy Bradburyesque future.
