This collection has everything!A man on awakens on a train headin who knows where, no memory of how he got there.Detective Franklin learns why the caretaker said, "The thing is no good, I tell ya."Penny always believed what her father said about the water, "There's nothing out to get you."The sign said:Opening December 20th:Literary SweetsBooks and Candies for all agesA combination of Treasures Await!Raul had no idea how giving the homeless a few bucks would change his life.Walter just had to have the chess set, the one made from the wood of the legendary ship, Titanic.Everyone's heard the urban legend about the man who goes missing on Christmas, only later his family finds his rotting body in the chimney.A picture does paint a thousand words for Valerie. She just should have looked more closely.Two young men, high on pot, watch the news as Chucklers gleefully rampage around the world.Two young friends meet The Beast of Briar Bank.There are so many delightfully wicked and twisted tales in this collection.They each have their own flavor and many may seem a bit familiar. But that's where the author steps in and takes you in a whole other direction.I've read  his anthology, Three After, so I knew where he might take me with these.If you like the macabre, the noir, the twisted and the darkly humorous, you'll like this collection.There was no stopping when I started, as I sped from story to story. Each one so different, so engrossing.I'd love to see these as episodes for Tales From The Darkside or The Twilight Zone.Or, maybe, the From The Mind of Edward Lorn Show!Thanks for some really great writing and plenty of shivers. Edward.What The Dark Brings gets 5 Stars for bringing it on!
