It's *damn* scary at times. Much more so than the silly stuff in TWISTED TALES. As far as the back issues bit goes, the hell with the continued stories! Get them because their a damn good read! --- jayembee (Jerry Boyajian, DEC, Maynard, MA) UUCP: {decvax|ihnp4|allegra|ucbvax|...}!decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-akov68!boyajian ARPA: boyajian%akov68.DEC@DECWRL.ARPA
