Little Selene was bored. And then came the mysterious Toyman, carrying a very special toybox, filled with wonders and terrors beyond imagination. As Selene peered into the toybox, the stories tumbled out: a quiet little girl whose horrible secret bursts forth at a Halloween party... a doll made of corn that hides a very nasty surprise... a depraved celebration for the last vampire... All of these and many more awaited Selend - and now they wait for you - inside the toybox. Go ahead, open it, if you dare.
Toybox is the first ever collection of stories by horror master Al Sarrantonio, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of more than 20 novels and editor of the landmark horror anthology 999. Toybox itself was nominated for an International Horror Guild Award for best collection.

" There are some decent stories, some really good stories, and a few plain old bad stories. It isn't so much his writing, but the ideas behind the stories that make or break them. His writing is good, his plots, not always. "
" Some stories are very, very creepy... some are a bit confusing... "
" I couldn't finish this book. I made it to through the first (5) short stories before I gave up. The stories were a bit juvenille to me and not the least bit scary or chilling. "
