A classic collection of fifteen chilling horror tales by the author of Psycho
Pleasant Dreams (1960), published just a year after his more famous Psycho, finds Robert Bloch leaving behind his earlier Lovecraftian influences to find his own style and voice in this collection of masterful tales, in which the horror is often laced with an undercurrent of pitch-black humor.
In "Catnip," a young bully burns down the neighborhood witch's house and faces a grim reckoning with her black cat. "The Light-House" is a unique collaboration, in which Bloch completes a rare tale left unfinished by the great master of the macabre, Edgar Allan Poe. "That Hell-Bound Train," winner of speculative fiction's most coveted prize, the Hugo Award, is the story of a pact with the devil in which listeners may be surprised who gets the better end of the bargain. These and twelve other stories represent some of Bloch's best short fiction.
