  Four Spanish treasure dhips, their holds glutted with Aztec gold, silver and jewels, set sail for Spain. Three are lost at sea under mysterious circumstances. The fourth, badly damaged, limps to Cuba where it is scuttled and burned. Such a curse awaits any would be pluderers of Aztec treasure. Undeterred, Captain Navarro comes ashore six months later, determined to loot the temple of the God of Night. Only a native princess and a Catholic priest can stop him. If they fail, a demon deadlier than any creature known to man will be unleashed. It will kill everyone who has stolen the cursed gold. And it will not be satisfied until it has feasted on their very souls! 
  This epic tale combines Robert E. Howard's sword and sorcery with the atmospheric, visceral style of H.P. Lovecraft.

  The Horla

  Guy De Maupassant

  This chilling tale of one man's descent into madness was published shortly before the author was institutionalized for insanity, and so The Horla has inevitably been seen as informed by Guy de Maupassant's mental illness. While such speculation is murky, it is clear that de Maupassant—hailed alongside Chekhov as father of the short story—was at the peak of his powers in this innovative precursor of first-person psychological fiction. Indeed, he worked for years on The Horla's themes and form, first drafting it as "Letter from a Madman," then telling it from a doctor's point of view, before finally releasing the terrified protagonist to speak for himself in its devastating final version.

  Tombob - A Short Horror Story

  When Scotty’s older brother brings home a ventriloquist dummy named Tombob and sets it on their dresser, the seven-year-old tries his best not to be afraid. After all, big boys aren’t scared of dolls. But no matter how hard he tries, Scotty can’t shake the unease creeping up his spine. 
  There’s something about that wooden face—the glossy, staring eyes and the frozen, painted grin—that feels wrong. Unnatural. Watching. 
  He tells himself it’s just his imagination. If he pulls the blanket over his head and squeezes his eyes shut, maybe the feeling will pass. Maybe he’ll drift off to sleep. 
  Then, across the room, a thin, tinny voice slices through the darkness. Slow. Sweet. Unmistakably real.
