Wrong place, wrong time. "…will leave even the most stalwart horror fans sleeping with the lights on." —K.C. Finn for Readers’ Favorite Eighteen voices share their harrowing encounters with the uncanny, the grotesque, and the utterly inexplicable. Stories of old gods and new nightmares, of the evil men do, and of the terrors lingering in the dark. A young woman's horrifying discovery in her roommate, a family's legacy of guarding a monstrous secret, a man's desperate flight from a ravenous beast—each story is a descent into fear, madness, and the realization that the world is far more terrifying than we ever imagined. Journey into the darkness, but remember, these witnesses carry a burden you may not want to share.
