Clive Barker, Heather Graham, Lisa Morton, Ray Garton, and Ed Gorman lead readers down a twisted labyrinth of terror, horror, and suspense in *Dark Screams: Volume Four, *from Brian James Freeman and Richard Chizmar of the revered Cemetery Dance Publications.

**THE DEPARTED by Clive Barker**

On All Hallows’ Eve, a dead and disembodied mother yearns to touch her young son one last time. But will making contact destroy them both?

**CREATURE FEATURE by Heather Graham**

What could be better publicity for a horror convention than an honest-to-goodness curse? It’s only after lights out that the hype—and the Jack the Ripper mannequin—starts to feel a little too real.

**THE NEW WAR by Lisa Morton**

Mike Carson is a war hero and a decorated vet. He doesn’t deserve to be trapped in a hospital with some black *thing* sitting on his chest as patients die all around him. His only hope is to take out the nurse—before it’s his turn.

**SAMMY COMES HOME by Ray Garton**

It’s what every family prays for: a lost pet returning home. But when Sammy, the Hale family sheepdog, appears on their doorstep, he brings back something no parent would ever wish upon his or her child.

**THE BRASHER GIRL by Ed Gorman**

Cindy Marie Brasher is the prettiest girl in the Valley, and Spence just has to have her. Unfortunately, Cindy has a “friend” . . . a friend who tells her to do things . . . bad things.
