Synopsis

Push past the curtains of the rational, safe world and explore the un-nameable horrors living in the darkest corners of our conscience. This is the realm of monsters and shifting shadows, where a single wrong step can plunge you into a terrifying, irreversible fight for your life.
- You discover a door behind your bedroom's wallpaper. It's probably just a small crawlspace. There's nothing unusual about it...except for the quiet tapping noise you hear late at night.
- A young child went missing while exploring a disused cemetery in 1965. More than fifty years later you face the gate to the abandoned graveyard, armed with a clue that could lead to answers about the boy's fate.
- A mannequin is stored in the back of your rented basement room. Sometimes its dust cloth falls off. Sometimes you feel it watching you. And sometimes it moves while you're asleep...

Station 331 was by far the best story, but I had already read it in the Parasite bind-up. These shorts were solid, if a tad unremarkable. None of these were really scary, and most felt underdeveloped. 3.5/5......more
