Praise for the first book in the series:

"This rich and masterful collection of horror highlights both up-and-coming and established authors in an interesting twist on the standard anthology [...] 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." - Booklist

"This is a short story collection that does exactly what it sets out to, delight and scare. With stories from well-known authors in the genre as well as a few from emerging voices, After Sundown has something for everyone. Highly recommended." - The British Fantasy Society

"An entertaining, slickly written, mainstream, fun, something-for-every-horror-fan anthology." - HorrorTree

"Beautifully written pieces that lean into the intuitive and fantastic." - Publishers Weekly

"There's a refreshing lack of pretentiousness about these stories. The authors span several continents so there's a decent array of themes and styles. Each tale had a very distinct voice, with a superb variety that perfectly illustrates what a broad church the genre covers. I had a blast reading this book. It really has reinvigorated my interest in the horror genre." - Stephen Bacon, author & critic


"I'm impressed with the imagination and variety coming from the writers. Beyond the Veil, from Flame Tree Press, is another happy clump of ickiness...and I mean that in a good way."

-- The Happy Horror Writer
