Anna almost screamed out aloud, as it seemed to be looking directly at her! For a moment that terrible ugly face stared towards her. She was sure it could see her. A long time it seemed to stay there, sniffing the air, grunting and squinting. Then its eyes narrowed even more and it seemed to edge that little bit closer; so near that the smell became so strong, Anna actually imagined that she could taste it. She wanted to vomit, she felt so nauseous and scared. Could it see her? Could it hear her? It seemed to be leaning closer and closer..." (Monsters - Anna)"Just then from behind her, she heard the slightest little snap. It was the noise of a stick cracking. She half turned to catch a brief glimpse of the man creeping up toward her. But another sound made her spin sharply back round. It was the dog. Big, black and furry, snarling ferociously, all teeth and fangs; lunging straight for her! She screamed out in horror, screwed her eyes tight shut and fell to her knees in the soft gritty damp mud. She flung her arms up in front of her face, waited for the monstrous looking dog to sink its long sharp fangs deep into her. The moment of anticipation seemed long and agonizing." (Monsters - Lucky Devil) "As Daniel squinted to focus his vision better, he could see that her eyes were glazing over. It was as if a film was forming over her irises. The pupils too seemed to melt away into her eyes until they were completely white. Then suddenly a huge pair of thick muscular arms, with gigantic hands and clawed fingers, reached out from beyond the hoarding, gripped hold of both her shoulders and yanked her backwards off her seat. “Woah!” exclaimed Daniel in disbelief, “Did anyone see that?” " (Monsters)"There were a couple of boxes piled one on top of the other, encrusted with ancient dirt and cobwebs. The creaking seemed to be coming from behind them, heehawing in a lulling tempo that rose and fell. Sid’s hands began to tremble, as he contemplated whatever could be beyond those boxes. He crept towards them, his heart beating fast and his nerves jangling. He held the lighter shakily before him, peeped anxiously around the boxes. To his utter surprise, the swell of light fell upon a slippered pair of feet! Sid gasped in startled fright. Then the feeble wavering flame illuminated wrinkly legs riddled with varicose veins and liver spots, a white frilly night gown, aged gnarled hands wrung tightly together lying on a lap, an ashen face crowned by a wild shock of unruly grey hair. There was an old lady swaying to and fro..." (Gilbert - The Attic)Recommended - Read alone. At night. In the dark. Prepare to be chilled to the bone!T.
