Home before Dark: More Cedar Hill Short Horror Stories

by The Undead Rat on November 22, 2009

This weekend spotlights two collections of short horror stories centered around the town of Cedar Hill, Ohio where “weird sh*t happens”.

This post continues looking at the The Collected Cedar Hill Stories Series with book two of the projected three book series (as of this writing, the third book has not been published yet).

Gary A. Braunbeck is an Ohio horror author who has written well over two hundred short stories and dozens of books. The town where more than half his work is located is called Cedar Hill and it is not a nice place to live.

This book is out of print. If you are interested in this book, click the mouse on the book cover to order it from a third party reseller through an online bookseller.

Home before Dark: The Collected Cedar Hill Stories (Vol. 2)

Author: Braunbeck, Gary A.
Format: Hardcover
Type: Short Story Collection
Page Count: 429pp.
Pub. Date: October 30, 2005
Publisher: Earthling Publications

Contains the 2005 IHG Award Winner Recognizing Outstanding Achievement in Long Fiction, Kiss of the Mudman.

The series continues . . .

Longer than Graveyard People (Volume 1), Home Before Dark contains 19 tales, including the long-awaited original novella “Kiss of the Mudman,” two classic novellas, excerpts from the Cedar Hill Visitor’s Guide, a page from the local newspaper, and much more, with a full-color wraparound dustjacket and over two dozen interior illustrations.

Graveyard People was hailed as “absolutely essential reading for anyone who values dark literature…a treasure trove of some of the most emotionally engaging fiction in the horror field” (Cemetery Dance).

Without question, Home Before Dark is a worthy successor that continues collecting some of the finest tales from master storyteller Gary Braunbeck.
