Darkness falls and the world transforms. Thirteen storytellers venture into the hours when shadows conceal secrets and ordinary people face extraordinary terrors. New York Times bestselling author Jeffery Deaver joins forces with Suspense Magazine to curate this collection of original tales that span suspense, mystery, science fiction, and fantasy. Joseph Badal, Linwood Barclay, Rhys Bowen, Heather Graham, Alan Jacobson, Paul Kemprecos, Shannon Kirk, Jon Land, John Lescroart, D. P. Lyle, Kevin O'Brien, and Hank Phillippi Ryan each contribute stories that probe the question of why midnight brings danger. Characters confront twisted fears that emerge from blackness, face legends that drive the sane toward madness, and discover what evil flourishes when the moon replaces the sun. These award-winning authors craft worlds where readers must prepare to keep lights burning long after the final page.
