It is said that books are written to bring sunshine into our dull, grey lives—to show us places we want to escape to, lives we want to live, people we want to love. But there are also stories that can only be found in the deepest, darkest corners of the library. Stories about the unexplained, of lost souls, of things that go bump before the silence. Before the screaming. And some stories just disappear. Stories printed in old newspapers, broadcast live on the wireless, sometimes not even published at all—these are the stories you cannot find on even the dustiest of library shelves.

Vampires, witches, and zombies, oh my! Within this Halloween special, you'll find a uniquely satisfying collection of horror tales and stories of the macabre.

An unflinching look at the insidious nature of addiction, told with searing honesty but compassion.
