A mother’s love is undying… and so is Dane. After the state of Arkansas executes serial killer Dane Peters, the Rest Stop Dentist, his mother discovers that life is darker and more dangerous than she ever expected.
On a lonely stretch of deserted Texas highway, Will Longmire breaks down. But he's not alone. In the dead of night, Innis Blake hits someone - or something - with her car. The figure should not be getting up. But it is. An unstoppable force is after Will and Innis. And before the night is over, both strangers will know the face of Cruelty. Forgiveness is only a few miles down the road, but safety is nowhere in sight. Every monster has its origins.
Editors Randy Chandler and Cheryl Mullenax put the call out to horror writers and editors of extreme stories, the hardcore stuff that breaks boundaries and trashes taboos, the transgressive tales you can't "unread" (as Chuck Palahniuk says). Some of the stories you'll find here are loaded with very graphic descriptions of violence, sex, and depravities, while others may contain only one shocking moment of brutality. In others, the hardcore aspect may be less graphic and subtler than you might expect.
Plunge deep into darkness with 28 terrifying tales. Explore heartache, happiness, and horror in this collection of short stories by Mark Tullius, the author of 25 Perfect Days, named one of IndieReader's Best Indie Books for 2013. This collection is composed of all the stories in Each Dawn I Die, Every One's Lethal, and Repackaged Presents, plus two bonus stories.
The master at his scarifying best! From heart-pounding terror to the eeriest of whimsy - tales from the outer limits of one of the greatest imaginations of our time! Trucks that punish and beautiful teen demons who seduce a young man to massacre; curses whose malevolence grows through the years; obscene presences and angels of grace - here, indeed, is a night-blooming bouquet of chills and thrills.
A star-studded cast of readers present unabridged tales of horror and suspense from Stephen King's classic best-selling short story collection.

Follow Edward Lorn out of the light and into the darkest recesses of his mind.
What the Dark Brings is a collection of 19 short stories, beginning with "Literary Sweets," a tender jaunt into Christmastime that proves all is not lost for one jaded gentleman. But by the time you reach the final tale, "Come to Jesus Meeting," the darkness is all encompassing.
Tales of hope, heartache, and horror abound.
Come find What the Dark Brings
If you could sum up What the Dark Brings in three words, what would they be?
Eclectic, Interesting, Different
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
Since this was a collection of short stories, it wasn't a 'typical' ending. But interesting to say the least
Have you listened to any of Richard Bryant’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
First Richard Bryant book I've listened to.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes. Very much so.
Any additional comments?
The narrator is outstanding. To be completely honest, although some of the stories are quite interesting and have potential, Richard brings all of the 'guests to this party'. Through the rich narration, it is easy to 'see the film' run in my head, which is something only very good storytellers can accomplish. Richard's ability to separate character voices is a skill that narrators must possess in order to bring life to stories effectively. Every character voice is done very well and brings a unique life to this collection of stories. His laid back, natural way of delivering the lines is very addictive to listen to, making it very easy to listen to the entire audiobook in one sitting.

There are some excellent stories here. Some horror, some bizarre, most pretty dark and all very well done. As a format, I struggle with short stories on occasion, but Mr. Lorn seems to thrive here. Highly Recommended. A solid 4.5+ Star collection! 22 tales of terror and an excellent narrator. Sweet!

What did you love best about What the Dark Brings?
I thought the story was well thought out and developed
What other book might you compare What the Dark Brings to and why?
Not really sure that I could place it with anything off hand
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
My only complaint with this audible book is the narrator and to be %100 honest Im not sure exactly what it was I didnt like about him. I am going to let my wife listen to it to see if maybe it was simply a personal thing. If thats the case i will come back and change my review

Is there anything you would change about this book?
I don't know. I'm having a difficult time understanding this book. And I received this audiobook free of charge in exchange for an unbiased review.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
It's just multiple stories that I can't tell where they begin or end.
What does Richard Bryant bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Richard Bryant has good narration skills and is great with the british accent.
Did What the Dark Brings inspire you to do anything?
No I wasn't inspired to do anything. It seemed negative and dark.
Any additional comments?
I would still give the author and especially the narrator another chance. This just wasn't a book for me.
