"Etchison is one hell of a fiction writer." -- Stephen King. Talking In the Dark collects the best work by a brilliant writer at the peak of his powers -- the author's own selection of personal favorites from four decades of writing. Among these twenty-four unforgettable tales of life on the edge are the award-winning classics "The Dark Country," "The Olympic Runner," and "The Dog Park," as well as several long-out-of-print stories and a new masterpiece written especially for this volume. This collection was nominated for a World Fantasy Award and its author is a three-time World Fantasy Award winner as well as a three-time British Fantasy Award winner. From the Publishers Weekly review of Talking In The Dark : "[A] wide-ranging collection culled from the past 30 years reveals an unexpected non-genre side to his newer tales, sometimes reminiscent of John Cheever and Shirley Jackson."
