This is the first story collection of the prolific Charles L. Grant who is supposed to have coined the term "Quit Horror" first. At the time Grant was everywhere if the reader was interested in horror fandom. He had won the Nebula Award and was nominated for the World Fantasy Award eight times, he published novels, he produced successful anthologies.

And he was really liked by his peers. Stephen King praised him and even wrote the foreword for this collection.
