- Darkness surrounds us. We can find darkness anywhere: in a strange green
stone etched with mysterious symbols; at a small town's annual picnic; in a
ghostly house that is easy to enter but not so easy to leave; behind the
dumpster in the alley where a harpy lives; in The Nowhere, a place where car
keys, toys, people disappear to; among Polar explorers; and, most definitely,
within ourselves. Darkness flies from mysterious crates; surrounds children
whose nightlights have vanished; and flickers between us at the movie theater.
Darkness crawls from the past and is waiting in our future; and there's always a
chance that Halloween really is a door opening directly into endless shadow.
Welcome to the dark. You may never want to leave.- This inaugural volume of the year's best dark fantasy and horror features
more than 500 pages of dark tales from some of today's finest writers of the
fantastique. Chosen from a variety of sources, these stories are as eclectic and
varied as the genre itself.
