Publisher's Synopsis
John Smith, author of Nightmares of a Mad Man, Colonial Scum and Spirit Dagger, has once again traveled into the dark recesses of his imagination to create Dark Dreams. This book contains a variety of creatures, great and small from all of history. Some appear cute and cuddly. There are others you would not want to meet on a sunny day, let alone in a dark alley or as you try to sleep, listening to the strange sounds that rattle through the house. Dark Dreams contains seventeen stories that will take in from the past to the future. In one story John takes the "Tooth Fairy," someone we all know and love, and turns her into a dark and foreboding night visitor who must collect her quota. Paranoia Duns Deep is a tale about a paranoid man who knows the government is watching him as he riles on line about Big Brother, will have you wondering who might be watching you. No one takes him seriously until ... that day. The day "they" arrive. Living Doll tells the story of a lovely antique doll, perfect for any little girl.

Ah, computers, the machines that make modern civilization function. In Electronic Terror, we discover what happens when the machines decide to usurp their human masters-their goal annihilation of the human species. Can one man make the right decision and save mankind or will the human race be relegated to history as a failed experiment? In Castle of Night - Vindication, a team of Special Forces soldiers are sent deep into the wilderness to eliminate a group of terrorist. Only problem, they aren't terrorist or even human-they are vampires and werewolves. Only one member of the team knows the truth. He hides a family secret that can only be found in the mountains of Transylvania. In Treasure Hunt a modern day adventurer seeks power and riches beyond his imagination. He follows his dream deep into the Central American jungle where he discovers too late that that some promises are meant for others.
