Несравненный мастер «хоррора», обладатель множества престижнейших наград, Питер Страуб собрал под обложкой этой книги поистине уникальную коллекцию! Каждая из двадцати пяти историй, вошедших в настоящий сборник, оказала существенное влияние на развитие жанра.В наше время сложился стереотип — жанр «хоррора» предполагает море крови, «расчлененку» и животный ужас обреченных жертв. Но рассказы Стивена Кинга, Нила Геймана, Джона Краули, Джо Хилла по духу ближе к выразительным «мрачным историям» Эдгара Аллана По, чем к некоторым «шедеврам» современных мастеров жанра.Итак, добро пожаловать в удивительный мир «настоящей литературы ужаса», от прочтения которой захватывает дух!
