Each week Fireside Frights features an author and recommended short story as essential reading. Fireside Readers like their chills short and sharp... so we do not read novels. Novellas are sometimes included, but only if they've appeared in anthologies or have real classic status.

Nightmares we promise you and nightmares you shall have...
