A dark world of deeds without a name... The bedroom that was deep in blood... The girl who slept with Satan... The rocking horse that became a whipping post... The rubber-faced man who left a trail of slime... A soft-voiced innocence that surrendered itself to corruption...Twenty-two tales to clutch your heart with the icy fingers of terror, leaving you sleepless with cold eyes - a prey to the malignant certainty of silent midnight.
