Gathered here are selected tales from previous short story collections as well as new work. You have forty different flavors of darkness in your hands, forty various shades of midnight. These are fragments of another place, one much like the world you dwell in peacefully, one terribly familiar. But this landscape is populated with horrors, its citizens driven by madness. Oh, you may say you're just here to visit, but one can't be sure. You might just leave... ruined.
