Publisher's Synopsis
From award-winning author Mary SanGiovanni comes a collection of some of her best short fiction to date. NIGHT MOVES is a frightening journey through the shadowed and often deadly lands that overlap our world...and others. Love and loss, self-respect and self-image, obsession and compulsion, and the things that drive people slowly insane carve a path through the darkness:
- An ancient, silent evil from beneath an abandoned theater hunts those who invaded its sanctuary.
- A mother's grief opens a door to a realm of shadows.
- The death of a woman's fiancee initiates a fate worse than death.
- An apartment in a run-down building contains the darkest secrets of known and unknown universes.
- A wellness retreat in the woods becomes ground zero for a horrible otherworldly discovery.
- A grown woman's loss of her teeth, one by one, is only the beginning of the unthinkable changes in her life.
- A traumatic memory comes back to haunt a woman who had run all the way to Japan to try to escape from her own guilt and loneliness.
- Ancient gods and monsters abound in small towns of Americana past and of the not-too-distant future.
It is indeed funny how the night moves, and in it, the monsters are closing in....
