The 14th Pan Book of Horror Stories
Editor: Herbert van Thal
 
Unspoken fears that make the dark hours friendless to sleep . . .
 
THE HOOK - Gilbert Phelps
He pushed the point of the hook into the stump, and began to turn it, exerting all his strength . . . Thick, dark blood welled up, like . . . like jelly that hasn't set . . .
 
STRANGE ROOTS - David Case
And then his wife turned round. What had once been his wife turned round.
 
A CHANGE OF HEART - John Snelling
The old man was sitting at the table behind a pile of bones, chewing grotesquely on a severed, half-cooked arm . . .
 
Twelve tales in eerie pursuit of the macabre as scenes of gibbering terror turn palsied blood to sickly gelatine.
