A horror anthology that weaves together supernatural threats and urban legends—from serial killers to possessed arcade games to demonic trucks—creating a collection of tense, darkly paranoid vignettes.

A collection of short stories. In one a woman who leaves her house late at night to drive to the store while a killer is loose encounters some problems. In the second an arcade whiz kid's obsession with a game leads to deadly consequences. In the third a small town priest loses his faith and decides to leave town, but in the desert is stalked by a mysterious black pick-up truck. In the final story, a family's problem with a rat is larger than they think.
