Ten Great Tales of Suspense

Love Edgar Allan Poe? Rod Serling’s original Twilight Zone? Tales with twist endings? Then this new short-story collection from Gary Lombardo will absolutely stun you. In these ten taut tales, we see a monstrous Maine coon bring home prey that terrifies his owner (“Growth”); a high-school graduate pull a party prank that turns tragic (“Deadly Deception”); a grieving man’s dead wife beckon him from the bottom of an 800-foot-high plateau (“Downfall”); a hypomanic grandmother make a choice that horrifies her family (“Grave Decision”); and six more equally jolting tales that you will want to read again and again. This latest compilation is Gary Lombardo at his best, and establishes him as the premier teller of shocking tales.
