Description

Jack Kamen's stories for The Vault of Horror, Tales From the Crypt, and The Haunt of Fear were known for their unnerving creepiness, rather than gruesome shock. His writing often featured scheming women, jealous husbands, murderous love triangles, and not-so-innocent children, which brought a precise and sure line to each story's shocking conclusion. This collection features 27 of Kamen's favorites, including "Kamen's Kalamity," which tells the "true" origin story of the artist himself. The book also includes "How Green Was My Alley," a cautionary tale about a traveling salesman with two wives, and "Beauty Rest," a story about a beauty pageant contestant willing to do whatever it takes to win. Additionally, Kamen's "Grim Fairy Tales" offer a dark and humorous take on classic fairy tales.
