QUICKSILVER HIGHWAY

Aaron Quicksilver is a mysterious storyteller whose listeners invariably end up as the subjects of his gruesome, grisly tales. He tells a new bride stranded on a desert highway a horrifying account of a set of carnivorous toy teeth, then entrains a pickpocket with the spine chilling story of an army of murderous, disembodied hands.
