Talismanic Shapes. Terror Stories from the Territories, volume 18 (en Inglés) - Edward Martin;Nick Gucker;Leslie Harker

"In your hand lies the answer..."

No matter what place or time we have known in the world, we all know talismans are the deepest of magics, the most primitive, and deadliest. The ancients carved totems of wood and stone, and we use other material, but it's all the same thing. Talismans are power.

We lay awake at night, clutching our blankets, and those blankets we hope will be a talisman against the creatures of the night. It doesn't always work, but we do it anyway. Humans are created with a need for talismans. Maybe talismans are all we have against the dark.

In volume eighteen of Terror Stories from the Territories, discover eleven unsettling tales of terror, born from and serving coldly those fearful symbols from beyond our understanding, as transcribed from the lost journals of Jack Harlowe, an enigmatic traveler, an adventurous man whose face is as trustworthy as his pen is eager, and an observer of the human condition we know as terror.
