Review:
Get ready to chuckle and to shiver--sometimes both at once! Within these pages you'll encounter situations that are scary or amusing, but always unforgettable. Here are just three of them:
When blundering kidnappers snatch a little boy, the hilarious events that follow will leave you wondering who the victim really is.
Two old friends enter the gloomy wine cellar, its cold walls dripping with dampness. Only one of the friends will ever leave.
Riding home from a late-night party, a timid schoolmaster is pursued by a terrifying man on horseback--a man with no head. --From the Publisher
