Tales to Terrify 525 Saoirse Ní Chiaragáin Dana Vickerson J. M. Merryt

The unseen creature whose ravenous fangs dog your every step as your footfalls echo down the midnight alleyway. &nbsp;— A long, icy shadow looming over you, making the hairs on your neck rise and your breath turn to ragged puffs of mist.  — Unearthly howls that pierce the night, pulling you from the comfort of sleep with feverish, heart-pounding dread. &nbsp;—
