"Get ready, my avid readers of short horror. Jason Thacker has compiled some bone-chilling tales of frightful delights in his new collection. You're about to be plunged into some crazy stuff here. Two bony thumbs up from the evil Jester and myself." -Charles Day, Bram Stoker Award(r)-nominated author of THE LEGEND OF THE PUMPKIN THIEF, DEEP WITHIN, and HUNT FOR THE GHOULISH BARTENDER.
