The children in these stories have one thing in common--they are all young monsters. Some of them are horrid. Some are grotesque. And still others are diabolically clever at disguising their awful desires. Some of the monsters are unwitting captives of their fates. Others relish what they are--horrible as it may be.
Isaac Asimov, Martin H. Greenberg, and Charles G. Waugh have selected stories by Ray Bradbury, Stephen King, H.H. Munro, and Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, among others, that will evoke both sympathy and horror. All will chill you to your very bones.
