"If you listen carefully, as you wander the darkened streets of Providence late at night, perhaps you will hear a sound..."
Home to H.P. Lovecraft and haunted by Edgar Allen Poe, Rhode Island has long been a nexus of horror.

Mattapoisett is a quintessential New England town with beautiful beaches and quiet neighborhoods. But life in Mattapoisett is far from ideal... it is also the epicenter of the Bridgewater Triangle, an area known for its many supernatural occurrences. For over 50 years, the residents of this seemingly peaceful town have been terrorized by a series of supernatural beings and hauntings; the most dangerous and powerful of all being the Swamp Monster.
The epic battle between man and monster reaches its greatest pitch in the famous story of Frankenstein. In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor himself to the very brink. How he tries to destroy his creation, as it destroys everything Victor loves, is a powerful story of love, friendship . . . and horror.
Here you will encounter witches, ghosts, monsters, psychos, demonic nuns, and even Death himself in this spooky selection of stories set on the night when evil walks the earth . . .
Witches, Tsunami, Toxic Chemicals and Tossed Cookies
