The sunlight, oh how its warmth and soft radiance provides
visibility and a pretend sense of safety against the night and the
fiendish beasts who roam in the devilry of the darkest shadows....
A shy, bookish female sitting across from you on the bus-her satiny
hair in a tight bun, those big, pretty eyes glancing nervously up
at you from behind a pair of thick lenses, then a delicate draw of
her lips shaping an uncertain smile on her plain yet elusively
beautiful face when she notices you staring. You look away worrying
she might suspect you're a pervert who wants to do her harm. Yet
WHEN NIGHT DARKENS THE STREETS this same trepid woman walks
confidently down the front steps of her apartment building wearing
lots of makeup and a skintight outfit made of leather and lace with
her feet squeezed inside a pair of stiletto heels. Her seductive
figure slinks through the night, hurrying across the cooling
pavement in search for prey. A streetlamp casts its light on her
clutch bag and she pulls it hard against her body as she scurries
back into the darkness where her wicked secrets are invited and
safe. And for now only she knows about the large straight razor
hidden inside the purse-its cutting edge stained with the blood of
past victims. Consider the local soul-caring priest who wishes you
a blessed day or the middle-aged woman working at the grocery
checkout counter who is always friendly and helpful. Regard the
mailman who has reliably delivered letters and packages for decades
to your doorstep or the neighbor who routinely smiles and waves
each morning while helping his young daughter inside the car before
heading out to school. Now heed the hundreds of individuals around
you milling about in the sunlight-civil and sane. What demons
transform when the veil of darkness arrives and the streets
blacken? What stories of terror and bloodshed will unfold?.... WHEN
NIGHT DARKENS THE STREETS.... From the publisher of THE PRICE OF
FEAR: THE FILM CAREER OF VINCENT PRICE (In His Own Words) and the
blockbuster novel THE EVERBORN comes this collection of
hair-raising tales. WHEN NIGHT DARKENS THE STREETS brings together
two seasoned horror writers - HORNS and John Grover - and together
they fill the pages with prose frightening enough to summon the
blistering attention of the baleful beings who swarm the night
world should this book be used for purposes other than pure
entertainment. Plus we include a special treat with GALEWOOD
BAPTIST, a demonic tale by horror fiction master Nicholas Grabowsky
Read at your own risk.... Each story is accompanied with an
illustration created by the talented hand of Gary A. Gabbard.
