Armchair Fiction presents extra large paperback collections of the best in classic horror short stories. "Horror Gems, Vol. Twelve" is a terrific anthology of shuddery tales by some of horror’s best writers, featuring the very underrated and unsung Weird Tales veteran, Allison V. Harding. In this collection you’ll find that terror can take many forms. One might wonder what is really down there, deep…deep inside the earth after reading “The Frightened Engineer” and “Black Angels Have No Wings.” “He Played With Dolls” will have us all questioning whether or not strange and terrible gods can abound in sparsely populated places. With “The Man Who Was Pale” and “Periscope Prey” the idea of strictly minding one’s own business is nothing but moldy rubbish. And “Incident at The Galloping Horse” and “The Bridle” will have you holding your breath next time you decide to go for a ride. Join us, as we conjure up an even dozen stories that we hope will make your blood run cold, your hair stand on end, and without a doubt… give you the creeps! The contents are as follows:
