The Midnight Man

Silver Salamander Press is pleased to announce the first collection of the short fiction of acclaimed author Stephen Laws. Long known as one of the premier novelists in the horror genre, Mr Laws novels such as Spectre, Somewhere South of Midnight, and Chasm frequently appear on the "all time best" lists of authorities such as Stephen Jones and Stanley Wiater. What is not known by most American readers is that over the last decade, Mr. Laws has produced a small but remarkable body of short fiction. This book collects the majority of Mr. Laws' short fiction in one massive volume of over 80,000 words! Included herein are tales ranging from the bone-chilling horror of "The Crawl' to the surrealistic "Yesterday I Flew With the Birds" to the beautiful and horrific "The Song My Sister Sang". Whether it be the traditional Jamesian haunt like that portrayed in "He Who Laughs" or a modern tale of urban terror like "The Black Cab"; Stephen Laws demonstrates that his short fiction is every bit the equal of his acclaimed novels. In this edition, noted artist Fredrik King has provided cover art, and Mr. Laws has written new introductory material for the book. Limited to 500 SIGNED trade paperback copies. Signed by Author.
