This volume of short fiction was released by Rowohlt Taschenbuch Verlag to celebrate the 30-year anniversary of their "rororo thriller" series. It contains the short story "Chee's Witch" by Tony Hillerman, beginning on page 107. The story, according to Tony Hillerman, was an experiment with certain plot elements. He states, "Readers of my books may notice that one of these ideas later became an important part of The Dark Wind and the other the key to The Ghostway."
This is a paperback volume with two-color paper covers. The front cover is a black-and-white photograph of a woman screaming, in the style of 1940s and 1950s horror movies. The volume title is printed over her forehead. A yellow sticker proclaiming "a one-time special price of only 10 DM" partially obscures her right eye. The "rororo" series logo is printed at the bottom right.
On the back cover, in white on black, is printed a list of authors whose works are included in the volume. The "rororo" logo and bar code are printed at the bottom of the back cover. On the spine, the volume title is printed in white on black, horizontally, top to bottom. At the bottom of the spine, the "rororo" logo is printed vertically in black on white.
