The darkness is always there, lurking in the corners, skulking behind the shelves, waiting under the stairs, sleeping between the stars. But there is always hope, a light to show the way!
Michael R. Collings delves into modern and historical horror in his essays; explores the edges of sanity and reality in his fiction; and visits far shores, distant planets, and the hapless programmer next door in his poetic musings.
Join the three-time Bram Stoker nominee and World Horror Convention Grand Master in this original collection of new and older works. Embark on your winding journey for hope as you tread cautiously down the dark and narrow way…
In the Haunting Darkness.
