Dwellers in the Shadows

For many years, I've been writing stories about little creatures that mean us great harm. Whether they come up from the drain, pop up from another dimension or come from a pet supply catalog, it would be best to stay away from the critters in the following pages. You'll live longer that way.

I've always been fond of Monster Movies. Some, if not most, of the Monsters themselves seem so improbable that we feel we should just laugh at them and not ever visit with them ever again. Yet, what do we do? We're flipping through the channels and up pops “The Crawling Eye.” Do we move on? No. We put the remote down and watch as Forrest Tucker takes on the badly animated creatures living in a cloud atop Mount Trollenberg. We are eight years old again, marveling at these brave people and the scary creatures that always pop up where our heroes are.

For those of you who love stories of creatures from who knows where coming into our homes to eat us, I've put together a collection to please your hunger for something a bit creepy. They may shock you. They may horrify you. But rest assured. They're only stories, and stories can't hurt you. Just don't read them without locking your doors.
