Fear the Darkness, Shun the Light

Greenwich, Connecticut. New York City. Saskatchewan. Rural Kentucky. Terror is everywhere...from the frozen Canadian wastes to America's heartland, in settings rural and urban, it afflicts equally the wealthy and privileged, the downtrodden and despondent. It comes in the form of a supernatural ravager, hellbent on revenge, a freak weather event that occurs at the worst possible time, a reanimated corpse who refuses to lie quiet. It strikes seemingly at random, without rhyme or reason...or does it? In this collection of short stories by acclaimed author Steven Finkelstein, you must judge for yourself. Are the subjects of these tales the victims of no more than cruel happenstance, or were they somehow singled out for turmoil and woe? Consider carefully, and keep a weather eye open as you do...what moves in the corner might be more than shadows. It makes sense to fear the darkness, for what might be lurking there...but the light must be equally shunned, for its radiance might reveal something that was better left hidden.
