Welcome to hell.

Hands that live on, long after their owner is dead. A little girl who learns about killing, with a little help from Doctor Nine. A diary that suggests murder to whoever writes in it. An encounter with a fallen angel that ends with a death--and a rebirth, of sorts. And other encounters with things birthed from the darkness that are far worse.

Inside these pages are terrifying stories of possession, madness and murder, by ten of horror's brightest stars. These are masters at work, and their stories will shock you, make you gasp, and make you wonder if those noises you hear in the night are not simply the house settling, but something far more ominous.

Don't look now...that thing from your nightmares may be right behind you.
