When the Night Comes Down

by Joseph D'Lacey, Bill Breedlove (Editor), Bev Vincent

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.

274 pages, Paperback

Sixth in the Dark Arts Books anthology series, When the Night Comes Down allows readers to take a peek into the writing styles of four talented authors: Joseph D'Lacey; Bev Vincent; Robert E. Weinberg; and Nate Kenyon. Within the collected stories, any horror reader should find at least one they truly enjoy, and many will find several. I had at least one favorite by each of the included authors. Joseph D'Lacey's "The Unwrapping of Alastair Perry" details a time in Alastair's life during which he peels off the layers of his skin in order to morph into other lifeforms and experience things that these other beings (whether a person of the opposite sex, reptilian creature, etc...) would experience. In "Knock 'Em Dead", Bev Vincent takes readers into the life of an author that feels his booksignings must be cursed, as, at each one, someone ends up dying. Another great Vincent story in this collection is "Something In Store", where a bookstore manages to "come to life" as it expands due to the owners' desires. Robert E. Weinberg's "Elevator Girls" makes convention attendees think twice about entering an elevator with an attractive looking girl, as his "elevator girls" have a bit more going for them beyond good looks and seductive appeal. Nate Kenyon puts a new twist on the tiresome zombie stories in "Gravedigger". A couple of young guys have found that dead bodies are a good way to smuggle drugs; however, they hadn't expected that the drugs might have some ill-wanted effects on the corpses they had used. These are just a handful of the great stories that I enjoyed in When the Night Comes Down,and based on what kinds of subgenres readers enjoy, many will have differing favorites. This collection, along with all of the Dark Arts Books anthologies, is a great way for readers to discover new voices in the horror industry. Many anthologies only allow readers to get a glimpse of an author, with only one story by each author, or are collected works of a particular author. Unlike these anthologies, each author gets his own section to showcase several offerings. What John Everson and Bill Breedlove have created with this publishing company is a much different approach, giving each author an opportunity to shine as they introduce readers to their various writing styles through the inclusion of multiple stories. I would recommend this collection as well as any of the other books in Dark Arts' line of books to all horror fans and feel they would make a great addition to all libraries.

Must read! My names are Fried Marcus from USA Califonia, for a year now i have been living with this virus called HEPATITIS B VIRUS and i have been taking some medications from my Doctor and there was no improvement, All thanks to Dr Ayo Christopher for curing my Hepatitis B Virus with the help of his powerful root and herbs...

He deals with a lot of anxiety, so much so that he doesn’t want to go out, doesn’t want to be with people. he has depends only on the drug levodopa, his meds for the a-fib, and anti depression medicine. Last three months i introduce him to Dr. Ayo. My uncle only used the Dr. Ayo herbal remedy for 6 weeks without levodopa and all his symptoms was completely reversed. My Uncle is now happily living free from Parkinson’s diseases now …. I recommend this Parkinson’s herbal remedy for all Parkinson’s Patients.
