# Darkness Beckons Anthology - Hardcover

by **Mark Morris** (Editor)

**An incredible fourth book in the horror anthology series which _Booklist_ called "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."**

_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._
