My God, what horrors abound in these tales SKINNER PLAINS: four hunters seek the creatures that haunt the plains in this bloody dust-kicker. SHEBA: ancient inscriptions, ancient kingdoms, ancient horrors come to roost in New England. BEINHAUS: a weird tale of the pitilessness of nature. CRIPPLEGATE: the mystery surrounding a painter of late Victorian Britain and the detective caught in its shadows. ACHING RON'S EYE: a comedic spin on two writers who get more than any writer could ever hope for. And blood. Yeah, there's a lot of blood. Each story a little hell with horrors too vast to speak of. They must be read, and even then, through silent transmission, stunning one's belief in a benevolent world.
