From a deserted research facility harboring monstrous secrets to portents of death found on the cold waves of the Atlantic, The Damp Chamber collects nineteen terrifying tales in an attractive hardcover, with original artwork by the author. Besides the terrifying title novelette, there are many other stories to be found within these pages to jangle the nerves of the unprepared. The House of August opens its decaying doors to a nightmare trapped within its very frame, and evil is awakened with the tolling of The Copper Bell. A haunted inn on the sea-swept cliffs of Dover is the backdrop for horror in She Is a Picture In Black, while The Return of the One triggers a deadly resolution for the unwary. Frank Chigas stops at every sinister detour in-between, guiding the reader through these dark places with a sure hand. With a penchant for building a palpable atmosphere, the author has created a lasting document of fright that will stay with the reader for some time to come.

				Unsigned Edition	Since his first novel, The Giant Under the Snow, was published in 1968 to critical acclaim, John Gordon has always written about that misunderstood frontier between adolescence and adulthood -- and the sometimes dark borderlands that reside there as well. With a knack for choosing the perfect word, the right balance of plot and character, and the appropriate amount of shudders, Mr. Gordon continues to be one of the most celebrated fantasists working in the field today. For the first time, thirty of Mr. Gordon's superlative tales have been gathered for this career-spanning collection. From the creeping menace of "Grandmother's Footsteps" and the squirming horror of the "Eels" to the searing touch of "The Burning Baby," these excursions into the darker corners of life and death will send a proper chill up the spine. In addition to the twenty-nine previously-released stories, a chilling new tale, "The Night Watch," has been written expressly for this volume. Although Mr. Gordon has been writing supernatural and fantasy tales for over four decades, receiving the highest praise in his home country, there hasn't been a definitive collection of his best twilight tales . . . until now.
