Morrell, best known for his action thriller novels, returns to former literary territory in this collection of 16 horror short stories written over a period of 20 years. In it, he mixes healthy portions of horror, tragedy, and suspense with a splash of dark humor to keep the pages turning. The collection includes both Orange Is For Anguish, Blue For Insanity and The Beautiful Uncut Hair Of Graves, which were each awarded Bram Stoker awards for Superior Achievement in a Novelet, and The Dripping, Morrell`s first published piece of writing.
