Horror comes in many different forms. It is chimerical, a shapeshifter. Within this collection we hope you'll find stories that will delight you in their disgustingness, enchant you with their terror, and make your breath catch like a hard seed in your throat. Each story features an original illustration, all ranging across styles with inks rendered liquid and gritty, varicose and phantom. Each and every author, artist, submitter, backer (807!), editor, and worker who has touched this book has left an indentation on it, thumb prints, claw and bite marks. A mycelial web cultivated in these stories now extends around the world, connecting us all. Connecting us to you.

And now your mark is on it, too.

May our nightmares be your nightmares. Enjoy.
