About this ebook
An innocent man is arrested for a murder committed by a woman. A guilty killer confesses to a murder--but the police arrest an innocent woman. A man finds the woman of his dreams--only to discover that he's entrapped in a nightmare. The tenants of a new block of flats are so delighted with their home that they don't ever want to leave--little realizing that they CAN'T leave. A husband and wife find that all their wishes can come true--but with death as the price. Eight great macabre stories of murder, mystery...and magic!
