    Enjoy 20 spine-tingling horror short stories in this urban horror anthology featuring Sherrilyn Kenyon, Cherie Priest, Seanan McGuire, and others.

    In shadowy back alleys, crumbling brownstones, and gleaming skyscrapers, cities harbor unique forms of terror. Here lie malicious ghosts, cursed buildings, malignant deities, and personal demons of every kind . . .

    Twenty of today’s most talented writers bend their skills toward the darkness, creating brand-new horror short stories 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.
    Christopher Golden is a well-known and prolific sci fi and fantasy author of many adult and YA novels, including Ghosts of Albion (with Amber Benson), Hidden Cities(with Tim Lebbon), and the forthcoming The Secret Journeys of Jack London, (also with Lebbon). He is also known for his many media tie-in works, including novels, comics, and video games, in such worlds as Buffy, Hellboy, and X-Men.

    “A fantastic line-up of authors.” —The Verge

    “A varied and eclectic batch of tales, but editor and contributor Christopher Golden . . . pulls it all together nicely.” —The Blood-Shed

    “This is a horror anthology with stories written by some of the top authors in the genre that is full of originality, with tales that deliver chills and provoke thought while leaving the zombies and vampires behind.” —Adventures in Poor Taste

    “The quality and variety of the stories should provide an ample amount of reading material to make Dark Cities a worthwhile read.” —Ravenous Monster
