Fear of the Unknown — Poppy Z. Brite

It rustles dead cornfields and diseased grapevines, travels through dark train tunnels and small railside towns, brushes across the killing floor of an abandoned LA shop and tugs at the garments of the bouncer at Death's own nightclub...

It whispers around a red box in a stranger's lap and rattles the door of an isolated compound in a death-filled land...

It carries the plaintive notes of a piano and the screaming wail of an electric guitar, the sobbing of babies, the murmur of psychiatrists, and the laughter of Satan ... and everywhere the wind blows, it brings madness, murder, and contagion.

Put the wind at your back and let it propel you into the unknown with such well-known guides as Jack Ketchum, Poppy Z. Brite, and Owl Goingback. Including chilling stories by David Niall Wilson and Patricia Lee Macomber, Paul Finch, Teri A. Jacobs, Mark Dunn, J. M. Heluk, Matthew Brolly, Teri Lucia, Michael R. Colangelo, Christine Morgan and Dru Pagliassotti, this collection is handsomely illustrated by cult favorite GAK, artists Arthur Davis Broughton and Kenneth Emig, and many others.
