When the Darkness Falls

Originally released in 2006 in trade paperback, this, the author’s second full-length collection of stories, is finally available in a new trade paperback edition and in eBook for the first time. Within these pages you will find:
A nightmare in which an axe-wielding madman stalking the streets becomes reality for a young family trapped in their home during the height of a blizzard.
In a world ravaged by the living dead, one man's mission to find female companionship lands him more than he bargained for.
A magazine editor discovers that a deceased pulp writer's most notorious work is a warning of Lovecraftian nightmares yet to come on an unsuspecting world.
These are just a few of the samplings you'll find in this new major short story collection by the author of such novels as Bully, Survivor, and Clickers.
It's all here—Lovecraftian pulp horror, surreal SF, psychological and classic supernatural-based horror, and even a rare mainstream piece. This volume reprints material from obscure sources as well as mass-market anthologies.
Also included is a brand new story, "Finding the Flame." Like his previous collection, Old Ghosts and Other Revenants, this volume features stories across a wide spectrum, from the subtle to the extreme. So pull up a chair, flip the page, turn on the light and wait until...When the Darkness Falls.
