Thirteen Gothic tales to inspire fear and flirt with one's curiosity. Through ill fate and gross misfortune, by the devil's design and the desires of those who succumb to all things wicked and perverse, the greatest horror is ofttimes suffered by the simplest of souls. Ranging from the supernatural and the weird, to that artful terror which creeps on the cusp of our reality, this collection holds true to a rich and distinctively dark tradition. Each short story is accompanied by an abstract interpretation. The exquisite hand of Italian artist, Lara Luxardi, wiles Shine's words into illustrations so unique and inspired as to incite the sinister beauty of the horror therein.
