Blurb: “most people won't admit it...

but lurking in the dark halls of eveyone's mind is a germ of ghoulishness. It shows up in anything from a gleam in the eye at midnight to a snap of a neck at dawn. Most people try to keep it a secret, but Charles Beaumont is proud of every awful thought he has, and lots of them come out as short stories.

THE HUNGER is a collection of such stories.

Some of them are funny, some vi guely "peculiar," some just plain gruesome.

If you are lily-livered or chicken-hearted or a dangerous maniac, don't read these stories.

Otherwise, you need them - most people need a good violent shudder every now and then!
