...The architecture of the haunted houses in this collection is largely (but not all) of the traditional, 19th century and earlier variety - crumbling mansions, dark corridors, locked doors, four poster beds, and guttering candles.... These are places with distinctly checkered pasts, where people have died, terrible acts have been committed, and evil has taken hold These past evils are demanding to assert themselves into the here and now to our peril.... The stories collected here will convince you that some doors should never be opened. If you dare, turn the page and let's open that door. -Introduction, John Landis
