Praise:

“Most of the 13 all-original tales in this superlative anthology are unified by strange or unpleasant incidences occurring after the stroke of midnight. In contrast, Alan Jacobson’s thrilling ‘12:01 AM,’ about a kidnapper patterning himself after a serial killer on death row, defies the perception that nothing good happens after midnight, as does Jon Land’s ‘ATM,’ a redemption tale of a young man sent on a series of vague quests to improve people’s lives. Of special distinction are Linwood Barclay’s sublime nail-biter, ‘Night Shift,’ about a newspaperman trying to stop a late-night caller from going on a killing spree, and Kevin O’Brien’s ‘Cell Phone Intolerant,’ a darkly amusing vigilante tale of an anti–cell phone zealot whose crusade to punish inconsiderate people has shocking repercussions. Other standouts include Heather Graham’s disquieting spine-chiller, ‘Midnight in the Garden of Death,’ in which high schoolers spend the night in a cemetery, and Deaver’s supernatural gothic, ‘A Creative Defense,’ which underscores the power of music. This volume is guaranteed to keep readers burning the midnight oil well into the wee hours.”
