Publisher's Synopsis
He's taken you to haunted hotels, into the lairs of dangerous creatures, and even to the end of the world. Now, master of horror Mick Garris wants to invite you along on a journey into the realm of the most terrifying thing of all: man. From a plastic surgeon with a uniquely disturbing approach to his job to a deranged child genius obsessed with his teacher, These Evil Things We Do: The Mick Garris Collection explores mankind's capacity for limitless evil-and how often that evil hides in plain sight.

So indulge your own inner monster and come along for these five fearsome tales of human wickedness... just don't be tempted to commit any evil deeds of your own."Mick Garris is one hell of a filmmaker. He's elevated my work and that of everyone else he's worked with. Of course that makes him a little PSYCHO..."- Stephen King "Who'd have thought that one of the nicest guys in show business had a secret sideline turning out sinister little short stories and novellas? Mick Garris's creepy, claustrophobic tales feel like sitting in on a group therapy session with some of LA's most damaged souls, each one whispering their own precisely detailed road map to their personal circles of Hell right into your horrified ears." - Grady Hendrix, Author Paperbacks from Hell"The esteemed Master of Horror Mick Garris weaves bone-chilling tales of terror in this amazing new collection. Travel from the heart of Los Angeles to a boys' academy in the United Kingdom and then into the mind of madness itself. Garris weaves unnerving stories and streams of consciousness that examine the truly demented psyche of humanity and explore our deepest desires and nightmares." - Dr. Rebekah McKendry, Host of Shock Waves Podcast "If anyone knows horror, it's Mick Garris. He's the real deal, and one of the first fans to cross over to creator, wearing every genre hat along the way: publicist, documentarian, screenwriter, director. He's as steeped in scares as is humanly possible, and here in this collection of short stories we have pure, distilled Mick: a terrifying tipple, bottled at the source." - Phil Nobile Jr., EIC FANGORIA Magazine
