THE DARKEST NIGHT
An Advent of Holiday Horror for the Darkest Nights of the Year
Picture
Edited by award-winning author and anthologist Lindy Ryan and with contributions from masters of horror like Josh Malerman, Eric LaRocca, and Clay McLeod Chapman, this horrific anthology will chill you to the bone.

From New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box, Josh Malerman, comes a story of a dark Christmas past in “Children Aren’t the Only Ones Who Know Where the Presents Are Hidden.” 

From national bestselling author Rachel Harrison, in “Thaw,” a couple spends their first Christmas together in a cabin—but are they alone, or does something else watch them from the tree line? 

From the Bram Stoker Award–winning screenwriter of Netflix’s Haunting of Bly Manor and The Fall of the House of Usher, in Jamie Flanagan’s “Bruiser,” something sinister stalks the chilling hallways of a nursing home at night. 

Plus stories by Nat Cassidy, Darcy Coates, Clay McLeod Chapman, Tim Waggoner, and many more, with an introduction by George C. Romero and art by renowned British horror artist Mister Sam Shearon.

praise for The Darkest Night

“The Darkest Night is a brilliant and deeply disturbing collection of tales that explore darkness in all its aspects. Each story will unnerve, entertain, and enchant. Highly recommended!” --Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of NecroTek and The Dragon in Winter

“An absolutely spine-tingling collection.” —Manhattan Book Review, 5-star review

“The Darkest Night shows the wonderful diversity of seasonal horror. These stories, blood-chilling though they are, will warm you up on the coldest winter nights.” --The Masters Review
