For many years, I've been writing stories about little creatures that mean us great harm. Whether they come up from the drain, pop up from another dimension or come from a pet supply catalog, it would be best to stay away from the critters in the following pages. You'll live longer that way.

For those of you who love stories of creatures from who knows where coming into our homes to eat us, I've put together a collection to please your hunger for something a bit creepy. They may shock you. They may horrify you. But rest assured. They're only stories, and stories can't hurt you. Just don't read them without locking your doors.
