Things Beyond Midnight

A classic collection of dark fantasy from the co-creator of Logan's Run.

ReviewA fine artist and craftsman, working here at the peak of his powers. -- Joe R. Lansdale

"I am terrified, delighted and truly moved by William F. Nolan's best work... he makes a permanent dent in our memories, Nolan is able to create a real atmosphere of ultimate terror, causing the reader to live out his nightmares."—Ray Bradbury

"His sense of what frightens us has been honed to razor sharpness. Nolan is a master of horror fantasy."—Charles L. Grant

"A dedicated and gifted writer."—Richard Matheson

"Because Bill Nolan's talents are so varied and his interests so many—novels, biographies, screenplays—we have had only a handful of his short tales of horror and suspense. But even a single book of his stories is worth several volumes from other writers. Few can match his insight into the nasty side of human nature or the casual ease with which he tells stories of awful unpleasantness. Nolan is one of the masters of us all; Things Beyond Midnight is an important and basic book in the literature of fear, one to be welcomed by anyone who loves a good scare."—Alan Ryan

"Nolan's work, beautifully-wrought, has color, feeling, flavor... He often reveals character through sensory reaction—and his realization of action description is probably unique."—Dennis Etchison

One of horror's best storytellers. -- Peter Straub
