Epilogue


From the intro:
“Welcome to the scariest place on earth.

A place of back alleys and strip joints, suburbs and slums. A place where the new fears live. The city.

The new fears are not of dungeons and vampires. They are fears of modern living. These days we are more scared of muggers than of monsters.

Within these pages you’ll find no werewolves or zombies, but ordinary events which take unpleasant and surprising turns.

Ten linked together tales of modern malevolence which could happen to you, today. Tales set in the most commonplace, most disturbing place of all.

There is nowhere more jittery than the city!”

Thanks to Nightreader for providing the cover scan and contents list.
