Book Description

SERVANTS OF DARKNESS will take you on a journey through a skewed world where nothing, not even a lowly can of bug spray, can ever be considered harmless or innocent. Some truly unique takes on dark fiction are offered up, including "Room 9," which any Beatles fan will appreciate while perhaps never looking at John Lennon in quite the same way again.

These stories run the gamut from psychological horror to action adventure to supernatural suspense to Lovecraftian nightmares. SERVANTS OF DARKNESS Will make you question your own beliefs about sanity and madness.

Includes Hall’s first ever published short story, 1995s “BugShot”

“If you're not familiar with the fiction of Mark Edward Hall, SERVANTS OF DARKNESS is a great opportunity to GET familiar with it. Thirteen chilling, creepy, occasionally horrifying tales, complete with outstanding, mood-setting original cover artwork, is a bargain no horror/dark fiction lover should pass up.” —Allan Leverone, Author of The Lonely Highway

“Mark Edward Hall writes like a master. Stephen King, yes, but also like Stoker, Poe, and Bradbury, yeah, even Shakespeare... His prose is hypnotic and seductive, visceral, and edgy. He’s the real thing.” —Kiana Davenport, New York Times Bestselling Author of Cannibal Nights and House of Skin

“Hall has an uncanny knack for blending vivid, almost poetic prose with visceral images of jaw-dropping horror to great effect.” —Vince Liaguno, Bram Stoker award winning editor

“Poetic and eerily seductive, Hall pushes you to the edge, until you get lost in the beautiful madness of his creations.” —Midwest Book Review

“Hall is rapidly climbing the ladder to stake his claim as one of the dark fiction elite.” —Morpheus Tales

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoy the Darkness November 26, 2010
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you're not familiar with the fiction of Mark Edward Hall, SERVANTS OF DARKNESS is a great opportunity to GET familiar with it. Thirteen chilling, creepy, occasionally horrifying tales in a $1.99 download, complete with outstanding, mood-setting original cover artwork, is a bargain no horror/dark fiction lover should pass up.

"The Comfort of a Stranger" leads the book off, and it's a perfect choice. A chance meeting at a cathedral's demolition site between a suffering young woman and a stranger morphs from unsettling to terrifying when you discover the stranger's identity. He is simultaneoulsy more and less than he appears.

From there the reader is hooked, and Hall takes you on a meandering journey through a skewed world where nothing, not even a lowly can of bug spray, can ever be considered harmless or innocent. Some truly unique takes on dark fiction are offered up, including "Room Number 9," which any Beatles fan will appreciate while perhaps never looking at John Lennon in quite the same way again.

My two favorite stories are the last two, "The Breath of Life," an ambitious (for a short story) adventure in pre-World War II Egypt that spawns consequences in latter-day America, and "The Hero of Elm Street," a twist on the traditional ghost story that seems almost autobiographical.

If you enjoy dark fiction, you can't go wrong with SERVANTS OF DARKNESS. Mark Edward Hall serves up hours of enjoyment for less than the price of a large coffee...
