story by Bentley Little
script by Richard Chizmar and Johnathon Schaech

Each copy includes a bonus chapbook by Mick Garris: "Bringing THE WASHINGTONIANS to Life"

About the Book:
"MASTERS OF HORROR was seen by some as risky. For decades, the powers that be at television networks have hated anthologies... But somehow, MASTERS OF HORROR got a toehold, and we were able to offer writers and directors in the genre an opportunity to tell their stories their way."
— from the exclusive chapbook by Mick Garris

When "The Washingtonians" appeared on Masters of Horror, the cutting edge horror anthology series created by Mick Garris, fans everywhere experienced a glimpse inside the unusual mind of Bentley Little thanks to the teleplay by Richard Chizmar and Johnathon Schaech, and the directing of Peter Medak.

Collected here for fans for the first time is Bentley Little's original short story, the original script by Richard Chizmar and Johnathon Schaech, an introduction by Mick Garris, and dozens of photos from the set that have never been published anywhere in the world.
