More than forty-five years after his first collection was published, here is an original volume of David Case's macabre Gothic tales that showcases the author's remarkable psycho-sexual fiction combined with the tropes of the classic horror story. Taking its title from the classic 1971 novella, also includes such memorable stories as 'Anachrona', 'The Foreign Bride' and his -inspired short novel 'The Dead End'. With a personal Introduction from award-winning editor Stephen Jones and an exclusive Afterword by acclaimed film writer Kim Newman, in which he discusses how the title story was adapted into the crawling-hand horror movie , this volume showcases the work of one of the genre's finest exponents of the macabre. "Let us hear more of David Case ... The field needs more from the author of 'The Hunter', a modern classic worthy to stand beside 'The Most Dangerous Game'." - Ramsey Campbell
