Sobre IBD

Just beyond the veil of reason lies the expanse of the unknown. Who goes there, nobody knows. Certain footsteps echo and certain (un)life blooms, yet it is darkness that greets us when we peek within. The unknown-the incomprehensible-demands a fearful capitulation. Thus we kneel at its altar and pray-for the respite from the need to pray. But its touch is infectious and reveals the lurking fear underneath the mundane. And there’s nowhere left to hide.At the Altars of the Unknown is a collection of 13 classic horror tales about those beings that exist beyond the veil-be they deities, demons, or visitors from outer space. Step in, why don’t you? What have you got to lose?
