Bones jangling as they grinningly emerge.Meet a hungry old woman who roasts her victims.A grieving father intent on rape and murder. A sex-slave nurse who uses lizards to kill. A blood-sucking creature avenging a battered wife. A teenager in love with a beach-discovered skull. A diva-wannabe who will poison to sing. An exorcism going terribly wrong.These and other skeletons await. Nightmarish, spine-chilling tales ready to embrace and draw youinto their blood-dripping dungeons.Are you ready for the shackles?Do you have a lovely skull?
