Tropical Chills: Fourteen Tales of Scorching Horror to Make Your Blood Run Cold

Are you ready to meet horror lurking in steamy jungles...ravening creatures roaming through hot summer nights...the living dead basking under swollen tropical suns?

Now in ten new stories and four classics, you'll be gripped by torrid terror. See if you can take the heat in Dean R. Koontz's "Graveyard Highway," a one-way trip to the far side of the twilight zone... "Houston, 1943," where unspeakable evil enters a suburban home... "Chrysalis," set in a botanical garden with roots in a dark and mysterious past.

You'll break out in a cold sweat as you enter these chilling landscapes of evil and fear created by such acclaimed writers as GENE WOLFE, STEVE RASNICTEM, EDWARD BRYANT, CHARLES SHEFFIELD, PAT CADIGAN, AVRAM DAVIDSON, DEAN R. KOONTZ and seven other modern masters of horror.
