description: In the realm of the supernatural, Tom Ligotti is the master of stylish, eerie writing of the highest quality.A strange talent whose works feature some of the most grotesque images to be found in modern horror fiction, Ligotti gives proof to the dictum that the very worst horrors are often those which remain unseen. As one critic wrote of Ligotti's power as a storyteller: "It is a skilled writer indeed who can suggest a horror so shocking that one is grateful it was kept offstage."This astonishing new volume brings together Ligotti's short stories of the past two years, all of them published here in book form for the first time, and a novella - a new departure for Ligotti - especially commissioned for the collection.
