It Was All a Dream 2: Another Anothology of Bad Horror Tropes Done Right - Paperback

by Brandon Applegate (Editor), Matthew M. Bartlett (Foreword by)

That cat that always jumps out of the closet at the wrong time, the killer that just won't die, the vengeful curse of a disturbed native burial ground-these tropes and countless others haunt the horror genre like chain-rattling ghosts. Everyone has one that gets under their skin. But these writers sharpened their pencils, picked their favorite, and made it work! These twenty-nine stories feature murderous cows, outer space plagues, very bad dreams, and weed-smoking clowns that take worn out tropes and turn them on their heads to genuinely chilling effect.
