In the quiet corners of America, some doors are best left unopened, some roads are best left untraveled, and some neighbors are best left alone. This collection of four chilling tales peels back the veneer of the ordinary to reveal the terrifying truths that lie just beneath the surface, where the past is never truly dead and the greatest threats hide behind a friendly smile or a closed door. Within these pages, you will discover what happens when a persistent salesman refuses to take no for an answer, even from beyond the grave; ride shotgun with a group of friends who learn that some legends, like the headless phantom who haunts Blacktop Nine, are all too real; follow an escaped convict who flees one prison only to find that the kindest stranger can offer the most inescapable cage; and peek through the window of a suburban home where three teenagers learn that the price for breaking into a witch's house is their very soul. A throwback to the classic horror that haunted your childhood, these stories prove that the most terrifying monsters are the ones hiding in plain sight, waiting for you to make one wrong turn, open one wrong door, or trust one wrong person.
