Spesso si dice che la realt superi la fantasia, ma cosa pi terrificante? Dieci racconti che spaziano dall'horror al noir in cui l'autore mescola le sue storie con fatti di cronaca nera, pi o meno eclatanti, accaduti nei primi anni del nuovo millennio. Un sadico tecnico dei Computer scopre che alla follia non c' limite; un uomo viene svegliato tutte le notti alla stessa ora dal suono del citofono; una donna percepisce una presenza oscura nel suo ufficio; un cocainomane investe una bambina la notte di Halloween e una penitenza porta una ragazzina sulla tomba di una donna la cui anima non vuole staccarsi dal figlio. Un giovane bullo scopre le origini di un suo incubo ricorrente; una donna con il dono del terzo occhio racconta la sua triste storia; un avvocato in ospedale viene risvegliato da una figlia che non ha mai avuto; un giovane decide di andare al funerale di chi ha rovinato la sua infanzia e una maestra ha un particolare colloquio con un suo alunno e il padre. Dieci racconti in cui finzione e realt a volte si incrociano, altre volte si sfiorano appena, in un vortice di situazioni che travolgono il lettore senza via di fuga.
