Publisher Description

Sandra picked up the dull, saddle-stitched book. The child on the cover laughed, a mischievous gleam in her eyes. Water stains on the front cover blurred the outline of some of the child's teeth, making a few look sharp, like an animal's. But the girl laughed, so everything was okay. Sandra didn't realize THE BOOK OF BABY NAMES was a work of fiction. And that the stories inside were horrifying....

This mini-collection from Bram Stoker Award-winner Norman Prentiss contains six tales about sinister or endangered children, including two never-before-published stories, "The Baby Truck" and "The Well-Adjusted Child," along with a new Foreword/Afterword that places all the tales in an additional disturbing context.

Other stories in this collection are: "The Albright Sextuplets," "The Covered Doll," "Homeschooled." and "In the Best Stories..."
