Your worst nightmares come true. Razor-sharp teeth. Vicious claws. The soul-piercing eyes that stare you down right before it pounces. What will you do when it's you against a purveyor of pure evil? You think it's just a dream? Think again. These nightmare creatures have transcended the pages of the books they were written into, they've ripped their way from the silver screen, and now they are coming for you. There is nowhere to hide-they will find you. But the question remains. Do you have what it takes to conquer the beast or will you let it destroy you? The Better Off Dead series delves into the farthest corners of your mind, where your deepest, darkest fears lurk. These masters of horror will haunt your dreams and stalk your nightmares, taking you to the edge of sanity before pushing you to the brink of madness!
