As in most anthologies there are different stories that will appeal to different readers. The stories range from poor to excellent. The price of admission for me was from an author I had not encountered in the past - Carole Johnstone. I enjoy the story so much I have sought out some of Ms. Johnstone's other work.Other stories of note are the stories by John Claude Smith, William Meikle and Scott Nicholson - those were my favorite ones. Contents:ii. - A Word Of Thanks From the Publisher Introduct...
This anthology of stories based around the theme of darkness, which contains some fantastic tales by Mark West, Stephen Bacon, Daniel I Russell, Gary McMahon and Ray Cluley, amongst others. Special mention must go to Carole Johnstone, whose story is one of the scariest things I've read for years.A strong and varied selection of stories chosen by editor Ross Warren, this one is well worth your time.
I enjoyed every dark tale in a different way. One of my favorites, 21 Brooklands: next to Old Western, opposite the burnt out Red Lion, really made the dark a scary place to be. I loved it because it was gritty, real, and so unreal, yet totally believable and well written. The editor did a great job of gathering the perfect mix of stories that relate to the dark in one way or another but making sure they weren't all the same. Truly a great range. I highly recommend this anthology and the book is...
For The Night Is Dark is a fantastic collection of short stories by a group of magnificently talented authors! Their ability to capture the primal fear that sometimes suppresses itself inside of us, until the lights go out, is awe inspiring. To fully experience the atmosphere of the collection, I read it from the Kindle App on my Motorola Xoom tablet. The soft glow of the illuminated screen provided the only light within the darkened room. My children were asleep and so was my wife, so it was ju...
Review coming up soon.
An eerie and disturbing blend of dark stories sure to give you chills and remind you, once again, that your nightlight is your best friend.
I received this in exchange for an honest review and in all honesty I have never heard of Crystal Lake Publishing but now that I'm familiar with them I will be reading more of their titles. For The Night Is Dark is an anthology in which the central theme is the dark. The dark is something that we all fear and is the main source of all things horror. No matter how old you are there's always something about the dark that terrifies us. The idea behind this anthology is solid but in an anthology li
A vivid collection of stories, all detailing things to frighten you in the dark!
This volume had a few good tales, but I didn't care for most of them. I thought the title could've been better, also. But it's worth checking out for a few new good writers.
Surprisingly diverse collection of short stories all featuring a twist on the dark and its presence. The quality is overall high, which is impressive as this is a substantial anthology. The variation is admirable also, and I think there will be something within to satisfy all tastes. One story stood out to me by an author I’d not heard of before, Carole Johnstone, and I’m keen to read more from her as a result. There are no absolute duds here, though some simply didn’t grab me. Most focus on the...
A great collection of stories connected by the central motif of darkness. Recommended for fans of creepy horror.
Not rating, due to my own story being in there. I did, however, enjoy the rest.
Hold on to your weapon of choice, and pull those covers up tight! The fine folks over at Crystal Lake Publishing have unleashed a dark anthology that is sure to scare you. Chocked full of talented authors and unique tales, FOR THE NIGHT IS DARK is a horror collection that any fan of frightful fiction must own.I have to confess that I had never heard of Crystal Lake Publishing prior to getting their e-mail. But I’m sure glad they reached out to me. If this anthology is any indication of the talen...
Overall review:Night has some notably good work in it (see the "Standout stories" below) and is a solid anthology. I didn't like four of the stories (I'm not a fan of stories written entirely in the present tense, and I loathe "GOTCHA!" works*), but most of the twenty pieces included here hew closely to established (and effectively penned) Old School horror structures and themes. Don't expect any groundbreaking storytelling here, just expect mostly solid writing.[*A "GOTCHA!" story is one where
