L'antologia di racconti è curata da Robert Bloch, autore del romanzo da cui venne tratto il famoso film di Hitchcock "Psycho". Come in tutti i racconti dell'orrore o nei gialli, sarebbe colpevole raccontare qualcosa della trama, l'unica sicurezza è che si tratta di storie mozzafiato, e che l'unico che non corre alcun pericolo è il lettore.
