For some, Paralysis never visits. Others simply experience the pain of the creature's pressure on their chest just once in their lifetime, laughing it off the next day as they tell the tale to their coworkers. But, for the unlucky few, the creature makes a habit of visiting daily. Placing its blackened talon against the flesh of the forehead, the creature invades the mind, pushing deeper and deeper to extract the fears that have laid dormant since childhood. These nightmares now run rampant among the pages of this book. Battling mythological monsters, insomnia and personal demons, this collection of short stories explores the inner workings of the mind, from dreams and nightmares to anxiety and depression to show all aspects of horror.
