The Crawlspace

THIS IS THE PLACE WHERE NIGHTMARES BREED...Darryl Dawson, author of DEATH'S DREAMS and IF IT BLEEDS, pulls you into places too dark and too cold for the faint of heart in his first short story collection. In THE CRAWLSPACE, seventeen unique and terrifying tales come to life: an unethical teacher comes face-to-face with a ghostly urban legend; a musician returns home to find his home infested with a crawling evil; a phony hypnotist gets his comeuppance; a lonely man visits a haunted strip club; a couple disappears into a literal tourist trap; a homeless gambling addict is taken to a strange casino. In these stories, the macabre is commonplace, and night lasts forever. Welcome to THE CRAWLSPACE, where horror hides in every corner.
