description: Horror can come at any moment, from any direction, and in any form; even the most seemingly innocent person or object can suddenly turn into a being or device that will terrify. Many of our finest writers have been fascinated with horror, and this unique collection gives one hundred examples of what the masters of the short story can do to our minds and nerves. Edgar Allen Poe, Mark Twain, E.F. Benson, H.P. Lovecraft, Fritz Leiber, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Stephen Crane, Robert Barr and many others are represented in 100 Little Hair-Raising Horror Stories, a very special book that editor Al Sarrantonio calls “one hundred carnival rides of terror.” How many times can you die? Let the count start at one hundred.CONTENTSAdventure of my grandfather / Washington IrvingAdventure of my aunt / Washington IrvingAdventure of the German student / Washington IrvingAnts / Chet WilliamsonAssembly of the dead / Chet WilliamsonAt the bureau / Steve Rasnic TemBabylon : 70 M. / Donald A.
