In 'Travelling Light', a traveller is obliged to share a room with a strange man who seems to know a little too much about a series of bizarre murders in which wives have been slain by their husbands. A tourist fascinated by the serial killer John Reginald Christie undergoes an uncanny and horrific experience on a trip to London in 'Forget-Me-Not'. And in 'Samhain', marital strife threatens to turn deadly when a witch turns to black magic to do away with her pathetic husband.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe thirteen stories collected here represent the complete short fiction of Bernard Taylor, one of the bestselling horror authors of the 1970s and '80s, author of \u003cem\u003eThe Godsend \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003eMother's Boys, \u003c\/em\u003eboth adapted for film, and \u003cem\u003eSweetheart, Sweetheart\u003c\/em\u003e, hailed by Charles L.
