STORIES TO BE TOLD IN THE DARK
Dual-Media

Free Online Version

    We love to be scared—in fact, we pay people to scare us. We pre-order the latest Stephen King book, we stand in line for an hour to see movies like The Ring, we plan our vacations around the theme parks with the scariest rides. Why do we do it?
    Maybe they give us a way to face our fears safely and walk way from them in one piece afterward. Maybe we like the sensations—the quickened pulse, the goosebumps. Whatever the reasons, we love to be scared, and you've come to the right place. Here are eight signature works of suspense, psychological horror, and spirits on the prowl, in written word and over six hours of 128kbps mp3 audio—tales to make you reach for the light switch.
