Synopsis

Hunter's Moon & Other American Gothic Tales gathers a half-dozen dark, unsettling short stories by bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson, each rooted in the shadows of the American gothic tradition. From a man whose troubled past will not stay buried, to a train returning from Hell for one final run, to a mirror that reflects the horrors of another age, the collection roams across haunted landscapes where guilt, fate and the supernatural close in on ordinary lives.

Spanning the eerie, the macabre and the quietly disturbing, these tales trade in mounting dread rather than easy shocks, showing off Anderson's range across horror and dark fantasy in short form.

A compact, atmospheric collection for readers who like their scares literate and their Americana shadowed.
