The Death Dreams are inspired by the classic forefathers of horror (F. Marion Crawford, William Hope Hodgson, Seabury Quinn, Sheridan Le Fanu, Lord Dunsany, M.R. James, and Lovecraft). THE SICKNESS tells of a young virgin who unwittingly becomes the only cure for a diseased man. THE DELIVERY portrays a laborer hired to deliver rats to a mansion, where he gets much more than he bargained for. INTO THE HANDS OF EVIL depicts two men lost in a snow storm, who become forced to stay at a sinister inn and dine in a precarious circumstance. THE FEAR PUZZLE tells of four friends who become locked within a labyrinth, only to sink deeper and deeper into the claustrophobic maze. DOCTOR KRAUS' GARDEN portrays a young boy living next to a botanist and plants which devour living flesh. In THE GATHERER a man searches for a missing girl within the pipes of a sewer system where he becomes part of the terrible saga. All of these horror tales are included, and many, many more.
