Dark Cities

Description

An anthology of horror stories in urban settings-whether back alleys, crumbling brownstones, gleaming high-rise towers, or city hall. Terrifying urban myths, malicious ghosts, cursed architecture, malignant city deities, personal demons (in business or relationships) twisted into something worse...virtually anything that inspires the contributors to imagine some bit of urban darkness. Twenty of today's most talented writers bend their skills toward the darkness, creating brand new tales guaranteed to keep you awake at night - especially if you live in the dark cities. Far worse than mythical creatures such as vampires and werewolves, these are horrors that lurk in the places you go every day - where you would never expect to find them. But they are there, and now that you know, you'll never again walk the streets alone.
