Fliers are a nuisance. They are annoying when they buzz around you, but you can brush them away with your hand. After all, a fly is only about half the size of your fingernail. But suppose it wasn't. Catch a fly and look at it closely - look at its head, its eyes, its legs. Now imagine that this thing was the size of a human being.. These eight stories offer horror in many shapes and forms, in worlds full of monster and evil spirits, where terror lies waiting in the shadows, and where the living and the dead dance hand in hand.
