Things That Go Bump in the Night, and the Eyes Who Go After Them
Here there be monsters. And ghosts and vampires and demons and elves and fairies and zombies, woo-woo up the yin-yang and well, you get the idea. The following eyes go after some strange game. And sometimes it’s the eyes themselves who have, er, peculiar abilities. Only the settings are familiar… sometimes. Suffice it to say that we’re not in Kansas anymore.
