Masques IV: All-New Works of Horror and the Supernatural

For the timid soul leafing through such a book as this for the first time....only four or five of these tales show human beings dying 'on camera,' so to speak -- though people are about to perish in approximately seven others. According to the rule that in good fiction, main characters are drastically changed by the end of the work, Masques IV is definitely on safe ground. They change some 18 times herein, and the total would be higher if there weren't three stories without human protagonists!
