The stories range from psychological horror to supernatural dread. Readers will encounter Wildmen and tales like Smells Like Neurosis, which explores internal conflict. Other entries include They Came in the Fog and Brenda's Hope, offering different angles on the monstrous. The Rouge Vampire by Ben Faulk adds a gothic element to the mix. Before Tonight presents a character troubled by war, while Morris's Moonlight Madness investigates lunar influence.
