As a child I read a horror story with color pictures and I need to figure out what the title is. It has been bugging me lately.
All I remember:
There was a man with a mustache living out in the marshy swamps with a handful of bloodhound dogs in a wood cabin. He did some bad things so a black dust mop-like creature with yellow eyes started to haunt him. One night he sent the dogs out to find the evil black dust mop thing, BUT what he should have done was keep the dogs with him in his house. Once the dogs ran off into the swamp/woods, he hears the evil creature, climbs into bed and the evil black dust mop thing slowly climbs up the bed covers. I think the man gets eaten in the end.
Does anyone remember reading this book as a kid? I am 24 now, so I am guessing around 1994 - 1996 I read this book. Please help! Author? Title?
