This is a really good collection, and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys tales of the paranormal with way above-average writing!

Frightening, Heart-stopping, and often Shocking, CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT

The children in the 11 stories collected in this volume have one thing in common: They are affected by the fears of all mankind, children and adults alike. Most know how to handle the dangers that befall them. How they handle these creise--or get help in handling them--may surprise you.
