PREFACE by Reverend John Nicola

Stephen King – The Mist
Welcome to one of my favourite horror stories from Stephen King. Set in a very tight space (a supermarket in a small town), with a larger-than-life event going on outside (a mist spreading out and killing whoever dares to go outside), the story analyses human behaviour in crisis situations.…
Ghost Story – Peter Straub
After reading both “The Talisman” and “The Black House”, I decided to check out if Peter Straub writing on his own is as good as a horror master as Stephen King is. Turns out, he’s not.…
