Skull Fungi John Salonia

Seven tales of terror, to play havoc with a good night's sleep . . . among the SKULL FUNGI you'll find: The tortured composer's hellish last work - haunted by a seductive yet destructive spirit of wrath and lust. The ghastly thing lurking in the ancient sewers below the city, waiting for its release into the upper world. The naive, unworldly scholar's monstrous inheritance from an unsuspected enemy, trapped inside a coffin-like chest by nothing more than a fragile seal of wax. The mad artist's unholy bargain with a dream-muse - a bargain that reveals a secret world of darkness - and dark hungers. The man who advertised for a vampire - and got more than he'd bargained for. The hunter lost in the woods - and what found him there. The sorcerer whose clever scheme to pin the murder of his magical rival on an innocent dupe went horribly awry. Seven tales of the monstrous terrors lurking in the shadows of our over-lit world, plus one bonus tale offered as a light dessert - SKULL FUNGI aren't the sort of mushrooms you'd want to eat. Rather, they'll devour you . . .
