This is a heartstopping horror from the modern masters of black fiction. Eric Jerome Dickey and Tananarive Due head a stellar collection of black writers in this follow up to the hugely successful "Dark Dreams". Beyond the shadows, they linger: and only those who are willing to look into the heart of darkness will perceive them. The racing pulse and primal desire of werewolves; the power of witches; the aroma of otherworldly flora planted in a unique patch of earth. Chant with an African mystic as he protects his people from an entity of unbridled malice. Ride the dusty trails of the Old West in pursuit of monstrous legends. Sail on a ship of damned souls as it languishes in fearsome waters. Eric Jerome Dickey and 15 contemporaries delve into the dark side of modern fiction with this collection of bone-chilling stories, covering every arena of imagination from the straight-up ghost story to modern fables of dislocation and madness. Ancient wildernesses and modern jungles unfold their secrets in a succession of nightmares that will have readers up long past the midnight hour...and praying for daylight.
