Book Description

Under the onslaught of supernatural evil, the acts of good people can seem insignificant, but a courageous few stand apart. These brave men and women stand up to the darkness, stare it right in the eye, and give it the finger. These are the stories of those who rage against the night, stories of triumph, sacrifice, and bravery in the face of overwhelming evil.

Rage Against the Night features the megastars of dark fantasy and horror—including Stephen King, Ramsey Campbell, Peter Straub, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, F. Paul Wilson, Jonathan Maberry, Scott Nicholson, Nancy Holder, Sarah Langan, and many, many more.

All proceeds will be donated to Rocky Wood, author and President of the Horror Writers Association, who is battling motor neurone disease.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful March 11, 2012

Format:Kindle Edition

Fantastic collection for a worthwhile cause. Every story is strong, with known and unknown (to me, at least) authors represented. All proceeds go to a worthy charitable cause, so there is NO reason not to grab this great collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scary And Horrific! May 11, 2012

By Anastasia

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

Loved this great collection of horror stories by some legends of the craft, as well as some lesser known writers (to me at least). I love short stories, and this collection certainly satisfied by need for the horrific and gory. All proceeds for this book go to a great cause as well, so I just had to pick it up!

If you're looking for some good horror to while away the time without reading a full-length novel, consider Rage Against the Night, it's well worth your time!

Two thumbs up! :)
