Description
Take three of the leading names in contemporary horror writing, commission one-third of a book's worth of stories from each, and the result is DARK VISIONS. Stephen King leads off with three stories, including "Sneakers", about a very unusual haunting, and "Dedication", one of the most powerful and unsettling of all his works. Dan Simmons pays homage to Philip K Dick with "Metastasis", one of three highly accomplished stories. And George Martin rounds off the book with the brilliant werewolf novella, "The Skin Trade". DARK VISIONS is a brilliantly original showcase from three masters of the macabre. ---------- Contains: - Stephen King: The reploids ; [Sneakers][1] ; [Dedication][2]. - Dan Simmons: Metastasis ; Vanni Fucci is alive and well and living in Hell ; Iverson's Pits. - George R.R. Martin: The skin trade [1]: https://openlibrary.org/works/OL19650831W/Sneakers [2]: https://openlibrary.org/works/OL19650711W/Dedication
