“Book Descriptions: Don't look for commonplace nightmares in these stories. Brian Lumley's monsters are never commonplace! In the award-winning 'Fruiting Bodies', for example, the terror doesn't stalk the night but moves almost imperceptibly underfoot, or through the woodwork... or in other places!
'The Pit-Yakker' is a tale of industrial decay, of a love that might have been, a hatred stillborn, and a scar to disfigure the landscape of the mind forever.
And as for 'The Man Who Felt Pain'... well, don't we all? Yes, but not everyone else's!
This Witch's Dozen of fine tales of terror can only add to the acclaim rightly accorded the man who gave you the brilliant Necroscope series, and its direct sequel, Brian Lumley's Vampire World.” DRIVE
