If you're a fan of, or even familiar with, [a:Rod Serling|95125|Rod Serling|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1245409991p2/95125.jpg]'s The Twilight Zone, you've probably already seen some of [a:Charles Beaumont|246684|Charles Beaumont|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1306872680p2/246684.jpg]'s work. He and [a:Richard Matheson|8726|Richard Matheson|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1200467797p2/8726.jpg] were responsible for the majority of stories in that series not written by Serling himself, and his reputation for short, pithy stories with lyrical prose and horrific, haunting elements is served well by this collection.
Some of the stories here have that signature Zone-like twist, but most don't. They are simply beautifully told tales of horror, desperation, psychological breakdowns, and haunting memories. Beaumont's imagery will haunt you indeed, long after you have finished the last of these stories.
