When the police ignore her explanation, she herself must confront the killer in his shadowy realm... From modern horror master Wes Craven comes a timeless shocker that remains the standard bearer for terror. Featuring Johnny Depp in his first starring role, this horror classic gave birth to one of the most infamous undead villains in cinematic history: Freddy Krueger.

"The Cat Who Read the Mail"
sixteen amazing stories about our mysterious bond with animals
Can a dog understand the grief and loss of 9/11? Can a cat expose
a cheating husband? Can a research dog let his rescuer know he
wants to be called 'Rexy"?
Absolutely And here are the stories to prove it. These are
accounts of extraordinary interactions between people and pets.
Stories that surprise, perplex and move us.
But The Cat Who Read the Mail is not simply another collection of
'amazing" animal stories. Instead, animal writer and columnist
Elinor Donahue explores the interaction between people and pets
when it moves beyond amazing and becomes inexplicable, mysterious,
profound. She's interviewed dozens of ordinary people who have
anything but ordinary stories to tell. Here, told in a lively,
journalistic style, are the most compelling encounters with the
unexpected through an animal.
Samson the cat began chewing and ripping the mail - selecting only
the mail addressed to the husband of the house. He'd then deposit
the remains at the front door where the wife would see it when she
came home. Samson was on to something.
Annie, the 12-pound therapy dog at Ground Zero, gathered the gazes
of a circle of bereaved men a few days after 9/11 - whereupon each
of them spilled out, one by one, whom they lost there. 'My mother."
'My brother." 'My sister."
When Malibu the dog died, her housemate cat, Whip, watched in
fascination -- and the next day took on Malibu's daily habits,
including opening the kitchen cabinets to forage for dog treats.
While each story in this entertaining and fast-reading book stands
on its own, the narratives gather momentum as acollection,
suggesting there is more mystery and meaning here than our limited
vantage can account for. However, Donahue does not attempt to
explain or interpret. She simply showcases these special pets and
the ordinary people who have glimpsed the extraordinary because of
them.
The Cat Who Read the Mail offers 16 stories that, in quick and
glancing style, suggest that animals are in on the play of the
universe in ways beyond our imagining. Still, each episode is real
and occurred in the ordinary life of a grounded human being. The
people in these stories never expected or sought the unexplainable
event they experienced. Donahue has interviewed each of these
individuals in depth, selecting the most compelling stories. Like
Joel, the optometrist who dealt only in rational fact. He wasn't
expecting that an eerie howl from the cat would precede the
apparition of Baxter, his recently deceased dog. And a renowned dog
trainer found that indeed it matters what you call your dog. When
it hears the name it really wants, like 'Jazz," the animal will
respond far more readily than when the moniker is a misfit, like
'Daisy."
Though not sentimental heart warmers, these are stories for the
good. That is their power. These occurrences can't be explained-and
because of that they make their way into the crevices in our
thinking. They take us to the moment of inswept breath-the aha that
catches us unaware.
And they're fun to read
