The sun sets. With it, light fades as though it were a mere background character in a sinister plot as the stories within “After Dark” cast their shadows, and darkness comes to life.
Feel the terror of a lycanthropic curse as it takes unsuspecting victims into its unyielding grip. Walk alongside a bloodthirsty, immortal creature of the night; better yet, run—our vampires don’t sparkle.
Each piece in Campfire Publishing’s debut anthology powerfully and masterfully combines historical fiction, psychological suspense, fantasy, and much more into compelling takes on two of the horror genre’s most beloved and classic creatures and will weave a sense of dread so frightening, “After Dark: Volume 1” is best read on the brightest of days with the lights on.
The Moon climbs high.
She floods the night with a cold glow as we return, once again, to the safety of our campfire to confront horrors born of eternal curses that thrive far beyond the flames’ reach.
Here, the cursed lurk in shadows—predators, rebels, waiting to exact revenge, wanderers bound to darkness. Or, perhaps, some would like to drag you into the curse.
After Dark, Volume 2 pushes further into the abyss and, as a whole, combines historical fiction, fantasy, post-modernism, and much more into chilling and new visions of two beloved horror classics. Best read on a sunny day with the lights on, some see After Dark, Volume 2 as an unnerving journey committed to lingering long after the final embers fade, and only the shadows know it’s a trap.
