NO VAMPIRES... NO WEREWOLVES... NO ZOMBIES... BEEN THERE. DONE THAT. You've heard their stories before and you're screaming for a different breed of horror. Those monsters have had their moments in the moonlight and now it's time for us to bury them in their graves. Let's lock them in their coffins, pierce their hearts with wooden stakes and shoot them between their rotting eyes with silver bullets from an AK-47. You wanted some new monsters. You got 'em. Say "hello" to the ones that are still hidden by the shadows. The ones that peer from behind the gravestones with multi-faceted eyes and crawl from the sewers on slime-covered tentacles. The ones that stain the pages within this tome with the blood of their victims.
