Fourteen contemporary horror stories that are ghostly and ghastly, and guaranteed to chill. An ancient gargoyle of the devil comes to life with deadly consequences to stop a campaign tohave it removed from the top of a church tower; a man receives a phone call from his wife who’s been dead for 20 years, saying she’d like to meet him. She tells him she can save his life, but there’s a price to pay. In other stories a mirror left in an empty house reveals a murder that took place there more than 100 years ago, but a terrible fate awaits the man who tries to solve it; two young friends visit a churchyard, hoping to see a ghost, but only one of them returns. A popular TV celebrity plans to launch his new show called ’You Lucky Devil’ by spending 12 hours in a haunted house, but unluckily for him, it goes disastrously wrong; and a large sinkhole that suddenly appears in a busy main road, leads to a network of tunnels deep underground. What emerges from them are monstrous creatures that have acquired a taste for blood.
