"All I can tell you is that I think it was pig's meat." "You mean you're not sure?" "One can never be sure." A brush with the mushroom devil whets the appetite.

Raiding this dark pantry of writing, this new collection presents a feast of sixteen classic tales, two poems and one essay, with choice morsels by masters of the macabre including Shirley Jackson, Franz Kafka, Angela Carter and Roald Dahl.
