What this book is about
Steve Niles's horror anthology draws on the aesthetic and themes of director John Carpenter's horror legacy — atmospheric dread, isolated characters, things from outside the comfortable world. Niles, the creator of 30 Days of Night, brings his horror credentials to fiction that captures the Carpenter tradition of slow-building, genuinely frightening stories.
