Darkness Beckons Anthology Summary

Darkness Beckons Anthology by Mark Morris

Darkness Beckons is the fourth volume in the non-themed horror series of entirely original stories, showcasing the very best short fiction that the genre has to offer, and edited by Mark Morris. This new anthology contains 20 original horror stories, 16 of which have been commissioned from some of the top names in the genre, and 4 of which have been selected from the 100s of stories sent to Flame Tree during a 2-week open submissions window. A terrifying cocktail of the familiar and the new, the established and the emerging.

Previous titles in the series, all still in print are After Sundown, Beyond the Veil and Close to Midnight.

Darkness Beckons Anthology Reviews

Praise for the first three books in the series:

Beautifully written pieces that lean into the intuitive and fantastic. - Publishers Weekly

This rich and masterful collection of horror highlights both up-and-coming and established authors in an interesting twist on the standard anthology [...] Highly recommended for longstanding horror fans and those readers who may not think horror is for them. There is something for everyone in this one. - Booklist

There is no end to the talent Mark Morris has brought together here. Fans of the genre will be pleased to see new work from such favorites as Nathan Ballingrud and Gemma Files, among others. So if you're ready for a long fall night, pick up a copy of this massive anthology and fall into the mysterious worlds Beyond the Veil. - Phantastiqa

This is a short story collection that does exactly what it sets out to, delight and scare. With stories from well-known authors in the genre as well as a few from emerging voices, After Sundown has something for everyone. Highly recommended. - The British Fantasy Society

An entertaining, slickly written, mainstream, fun, something-for-every-horror-fan anthology. - HorrorTree

There's a refreshing lack of pretentiousness about these stories. The authors span several continents so there's a decent array of themes and styles. Each tale had a very distinct voice, with a superb variety that perfectly illustrates what a broad church the genre covers. I had a blast reading this book. It really has reinvigorated my interest in the horror genre. - Stephen Bacon, author & critic

I'm impressed with the imagination and variety coming from the writers. Beyond the Veil, from Flame Tree Press, is another happy clump of ickiness...and I mean that in a good way. - The Happy Horror Writer
