An autistic child inhabis a world of silence; he neither hears nor speaks. Yet he has a remarkable talent: he can paint pictures. Not ordinary pictures, but works of art so realistic that one can literally reach through the canvas into the world beyond. His world. Impossible? Not in the realm of MindQuakes -- a mysterious zone somewhere between reality and fiction where all things are possible.

A high school girl with more vanity thatn good sense pays the ultimate price when she subscribes to an unorthodox medical procedure. A brother and sister play a harmless prank on their father's new girlfriend, only it's no prank -- and it definitely isn't harmless! A family is about to receive a terrible shock: their Christmas tree has come to life...and it wants revenge!

By turns terrifying, funny, chilling, offbeat, and weird, each of these stories is an unforgettable glimpse into the world that lies always just beyond the edge of reality.

But beware: Once you enter MindQuakes, there's no turning back.
