This short collection gathers together some of the horror master's strangest stories — tales of mutants, post-apocalyptic creatures that flee humanity to live in the wastelands and hug the shadows. Three of the stories are from long-out-of-print collections not published in the United States, one first appeared in a small press magazine in the 1980s, and the last is appearing here for the first time.

Stories included in this collection:
In the Glow Zone
Problem Child
The Ugly Act
Mother Love
Somebody Calling
