When The Night Comes Down

TRAPPED WITHIN THE TWILIGHT... Call it what you like: dusk, twilight, sunset. It's that magical moment between daylight and darkness when anything is possible - the evening ahead promises untold enchantment... or nameless dread. Within are 16 tales of the oncoming blackness, including more than the usual cast of characters. There are shapeshifters and gravediggers, but also supernatural private detectives - and perhaps most terrifying of all - beautiful creatures that prey on... horror writers. Murder, death and things worse than death are all waiting for you When The Night Comes Down.
