From the Dark, Book 4

Hard comes in the night. It moves in thick, deep and deepening. The darkness seeps in, down in, to the very center, the very core. Things stir in the shadows, dark things, secret things, things that do not live in the light. They linger watching from the shadows and lick their lips waiting for the light to vanish. Then they will be free. Then they will come. Voices beckon from the darkness. A box carries Armageddon. A hangman at the end of his rope. A message from beyond the grave. The laughter of disembodied children. A sinister smile. These are tales from the dark. This is the fourth book in the From the Dark series. These stories originally appeared in the series Tales for a Dark Night.
