But at what cost?Casey has always loved animals. Dogs and cats are fine enough-not that his dead-beat dad has ever let him have one. But what he really wants is an African Grey Parrot. When he finally gets his wish, it's almost too good to be true. The parrot, Dorian, sings and talks and learns new tricks so fast. Dorian is incredibly smart-maybe too smart for his, and Casey's, own good...This collection includes two terrifying novels inspired by Creepshow, Shudder's anthology TV series based on the 1982 horror comedy classic.
