This 100,000-word collection of storiesùsupernatural and crimeùessays and interviews brings together work from the two out of print hardback collections, Shadows at Midnight and Echoes of Darkness, as well as other stories published, and unpublished, over recent years. With the companion volume Selling Dark Miracles, this is the complete Maynard-Sims story to 2000. Together they feature work never before published in USA. This is Bram Stoker Award nominated work from two first class writers of style and quality.

ôFor twenty-five years, Maynard & Sims have been visiting shadows. To the delight and appreciation of readers, they bring back souvenirs. Like gentleman peddlers selling dark miracles, this long-time duet crafts fiction that reads like the secret geography of nightmare. With the subtle, undeniable persuasiveness of cold air slipping beneath the door, their supernatural stories display a subversive ability to stealthily chip away at those flimsy walls of logic and rationalization that the human animal uses to form illusions of control and safety; barriers that Maynard & Sims delight in crossing.ö

ôMaynard & Sims have mastered not only the traditional ghost story, but have grown into accomplished authors of the modern horror story. The release of two massive collections of their work is surely a cause for celebration among all aficionados of tales of terror.ö
ùJohn Pelan, editor of Darkside: Horror for the Next Millennium

ôMaynard & Sims know the devil is in the details. They plant their devils cunningly, in carefully drawn characters and moody settings, and they know just when to let the devil out to satisfy a reader with a good dose of fright, or mystery, or disquiet, or all of that and more.ö
ùGerard Houarner, Fiction Editor, Space and Time Magazine and Going Postal

ôMaynard & Sims are that rare and wonderful hybrid that sings to the darkest corners of the soul with their sweet voice whilst leading you like an innocent into the wilderness ready to hand you over to the Big Bad Wolf. Their stories never fail to deliver. They ask questions others are afraid to ask. They explore territory others are afraid to venture into. In many ways Maynard & Sims are reminiscent of the late greats of our genreùAickman, Bloch, Leiber, Machen and even Poe, all spliced liberally with that unique dash of M&S spice . . . ö
