DIABOLICAL IMAGES In this chilling collection of tales, the Grand Master of occult horror serves up a suitably satanic concoction of devilish delights. There’s a Russian composer, Cholodenco, who makes a Faustian pact at his friend’s expense; the lecherous old man who exacts a particularly hideous revenge on his nubile wife and her lover; a sinister musical time machine that reveals a ghastly atrocity from the dark abyss of time. And in each brilliantly abominable offering, Ray Russell weaves a web of evil that captures the reader in a nerve-rending network of waking nightmares!
