The Rack II: More Stories Inspired by Vintage Horror Paperbacks

You've been here before. You've spun THE RACK, marveling over the garish covers and embossed titles that drip blood or sprout teeth. Perhaps you've even held a few, skimming the back cover to figure out what story could possibly inspire such lurid images. But have you sampled its wares?

Go ahead, take another spin. These covers are all different than last time you visited. So many stories. See the bats? And look at those covers with the Ferris wheel and trapeze artists...who doesn't love a circus? What about those creepy masks and that ventriloquist doll, those look fun, don't they? Or you could take a trip to The Mall. Maybe buy one of those cute electronic pets that are so popular. Beep, beep, beep! The choices are endless when you spin THE RACK.

From ancient gods to tentacled monsters to houses you should never enter, these twenty-three stories have something for everyone's taste. Today's masters of horror know what you like, and they've made sure this book is filled with tales that will haunt you. And make you want to come back and spin THE RACK again and again and again...
