Twists of the Tale: An Anthology of Cat Horror

In this extraordinary collection, 24 master storytellers look into the inscrutable eyes of the cat and see a reflection of the frightening, the fantastic, and the bizarre. In "The Cat From Hell", Stephen King unravels a most unusual killing for hire. Joyce Carol Oates delves into a mother's worst nightmare in "Nobody Knows My Name", while Gahan Wilson's "Best Friends" tells of pampered cats, gentle mistresses, and bloodshed.
