Nocturnal Caress — Steven E. Wedel

In Oklahoma City, a mother and daughter are visited by a creature that lives under beds.

Pam and Allison Baker are a modern mother and daughter. They don't believe in monsters. Not really.

But the monster under Allison's bed believes in them.

Fans of short horror fiction will enjoy this take on a classic phobia as mother and daughter and monster come to terms with their living conditions.
