Two stories of things that bump in the night. In the first, “The Cat with No Legs,” a family deals with the death of a pet cat. In the second, “Dark at Night,” the stars stop shining.
Two stories of light. In the first, “Natural Light,” a man’s new painting doesn’t agree with the candles nearby. In the second, “Three of Them,” an industrious individual tells all about his clever business.
Two stories of strange group behavior. In the first, “Going Away,” a man’s friends start behaving erratically at a going away party. In the second, “Dive,” a dive bar in the middle of nowhere always has a crowd.
Two stories of the underneath. In “Why I Can’t Sleep,” a man recounts a childhood sleepover that still haunts him. In “Teeth in the Yard,” some strange teeth turn out to be more than just a curiousity.
Two mysteries. In “The Wounded Man,” a witness to a bizarre event becomes obsessed with it’s conclusion. In “Exactly One Inch,” a friend’s sudden disappearance disturbs the ones closest to him.
Two stories of childhood terror. In “Just a Nightmare,” a series of taps on his bedroom window are just the start of a nightmare a young boy can’t escape from. In “Silly Bill,” an imaginary friend pushes a little girl to terrorize her brother.
Two stories about the space "out there." In "Phoning Home," a young man wakes up in the hospital after falling ill. In "The Blind Man's Telescope," a volunteer learns about space from a blind man.
Two stories of creatures that may or may not exist. In "My Dad's Only Campfire Story," a boy's father finally tells the story of why he doesn't camp anymore. In "The Haystackers of Humboldt County," a young man goes to work on his uncle's farm, in rural Iowa.
