Gathering Darkness

    “One of those extraordinary short story collections that makes me so happy I've picked it up.”--Haunted Reader

    Author Chris Allinotte pulls you down, down into the darkness…

    Detectives Milton and Blackwood are tired of “the weird stuff”, but at the old pumpkin farm they discover that the weird stuff isn’t done with them… Thomas, realizing too late that today is his girlfriend’s birthday, is about to be helped out of his predicament by a precocious little girl with a terrible secret… Danny Miller is a tiny kid that doesn’t take kindly to bullies. When things take a sudden turn for the deadly, nothing will stop him from getting his revenge. Lucky for him, he’s got a friend like Billy…

    These terrifying, weird, and sometimes funny tales, plus killer mustaches, zombie mice, mermaids, and more await in the Gathering Darkness.

    “A suspenseful collection of sinister and imaginative horror fiction that kept me fully gripped…”--Erin Cole, author of Grave Echoes

    “Highly recommended if you like to get scared, but want to laugh at the same time.”--Jason Beech, author of City of Forts

    “A five-plus-star book…”--Hermine Strand, author of The Flight of the Hogs
