Product Description
Four years after his first collection of short stories, J. F. Gonzalez and Midnight Library are proud to bring you this follow-up volume. Within these pages you will find: A nightmare in which an axe-wielding madman stalking the streets becomes reality for a young family trapped in their home during the height of a blizzard. In a world ravaged by the living dead, one man's mission to find female companionship lands him more than he bargained for. A magazine editor discovers that a deceased pulp writer's most notorious work is a warning of Lovecraftian nightmares yet to come on an unsuspecting world. These are just a few of the samplings you'll find in this new major short story collection by the author of such novels as Bully, Survivor, and Clickers. It's all here - Lovecraftian pulp horror, surreal SF, psychological and classic supernatural-based horror, and even a rare mainstream piece. This volume reprints material from obscure sources as well as mass-market anthologies. Also included is a brand new story, "Finding the Flame." Like his previous collection, Old Ghosts and Other Revenants, this volume features stories across a wide spectrum, from the subtle to the extreme. So pull up a chair, flip the page, turn on the light and wait until...When the Darkness Falls.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Dark Gems, Nov 7 2007
By Lesley Conner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: When the Darkness Falls (Paperback)
J. F. Gonzalez is a talented writer who has the skill to draw a reader into a dark world that they would otherwise never enter. While I have read several of his novels, this is the first collection of his shorter work that I have had the pleasure to encounter, and it has left me hungry for more. He takes you into the mind of a porn addict at the extreme and allows you to delve into this man's obsession that goes way past T&A. He shows you the consequences of a husband and wife's commitment to their daughter when they will do anything to keep her safe in such a crazy world. And more than once he gives you a glimpse of the true terror of religious extremism. This collection of short fiction has something for everyone, from the visceral to dark humor that teases terror. I can't wait for more.
