Here’s a roadmap to Edge of
Night. Welcome to an eclectic collection of nine short stories.
You’ve done time at the edge of
night. Nail-biting, stomach-churning time filled with hissing snarls, menacing
growls, the whoosh of unnatural wings, and the flash of hellfire. Time that
lasts forever, but is over within seconds because time becomes unpredictable in
places like that. You don’t want to stay, but it’s too fascinating—in a grisly,
macabre, toe-curling kind of way—to turn your back on.
You recognize it, though. The
place just at the threshold of darkness where it’s not quite safe anymore. Evil
broke its bounds at the edge of night, or maybe it always ran free and we’ve
been deluding ourselves all along.
Join me for nine supernatural
tales. Monsters, demons, gods—fallen and otherwise—ghosts, aliens. A touch of
science fiction. More than a splash of romance. From magical lands to a
chilling glance into the past, Edge of Night has something to tempt everyone.
Everyone who craves danger, that is. It takes guts to read the stuff woven into
nightmares.
It’s a tough job, but you’re up
to it.
Welcome to my world. A world
where magic holds court and the dude next door just might be a demon. Or a
shifter. Or an alien.
Review: I received this book from the author, which had no impact on my honest review.
I love a good short story collection. Maybe it's my short attention span... If you've already read Ann Gimpel, then I guarantee that you'll love this collection. If not, then this is the perfect introduction to her writing. The prose flows with vivid descriptions that leap off the page, pulling the reader into the story. One might think that short story equals poor character development, but that is not the case here. It amazes me how I was pulled into a character's life within a single page as happened with the very first story in the collection. Edge of Night has something for everyone within its pages--whether you like horror or aliens-- complete with a dash of romance. Highly recommended.
