Beskrivelse
These icy, elegant and terrifying stories explore the dark worlds that impinge on our reality, twisting minds, distorting destinies and mocking human hopes and dreams. They range in length from the short-short "The Two Masks," which reveals the monstrous terrors that stalk nighttime city streets, to the title novella, in which an innocent brother and sister learn of the ancient horrors that have manipulated their family for countless generations towards an unspeakable apotheosis. In "Soul Occupant," a cunning murderer stashes his victim where no one will ever find her - forgetting that she knows where to find him, night after night. In "Golgotha," the Place of the Skulls waits for vengeance - but whose? In "A Mirror in Every Mind," a man meets his murderous double - and learns to his growing horror that what he thought was a double is really much, much more. In "An Extra Mouth to Feed," a serial killer's confession reveals the unearthly reason behind his compulsions. "The Black Hammer" of the long-dead warlock Enoch Craule was just a curious artifact to its discoverer - until he saw its sinister effects on his wife. In these stories and others you will hear the horrifyingly seductive voices of the night.
