Thirteen such accounts of the truly terrifying comprise this collection of stories by raconteur Jim Nelson, including these gripping tales: * A roustabout down on his luck is tempted into the illegal trade of bear parts, only to find that without bad luck he would have no luck at all * A young woman living alone in a wilderness cabin imagines she is being stalked--until the sound of window glass breaking wakens her in the night * Among the Hutterite boys out in cow-camp, a meandering bear is a target of interest--but it is actually a skunk that will ultimately prove to be their undoing * The bears we imagine are always more terrible than the ones we encounter--or so a film-maker believes until he finds himself running faster than he can think.
