Publisher's summary

The three horror/dark fiction novellas that make up this collection were previously released separately, in 2011 and 2012, and are offered here together in one volume for the first time. DARKNESS FALLS: Novelist Tyler Beckman was once a New York Times bestselling author and considered the heir to Stephen King. Now he's destroyed his marriage and squandered his money and is unable to write a single word of new material. Desperate to reclaim all he has lost, Tyler becomes convinced the only way to break through his writer's block is by returning to his old hometown of Darkness Falls, New Hampshire.

Because Janelle and Audrey are not your typical college coeds; they have secrets of their own. Secrets Gary Newton can not imagine even in his most twisted nightmares... THE BECOMING: When twelve-year-old Tim McKenna learns of the legend of a horrific mining disaster in his brand-new home town of Tonopah, Pennsylvania, he decides to skip school one day and explore the long-abandoned mine. Alone. When he disappears, his frantic mother marshals an all-out search for her missing son, a search that law enforcement is only too happy to call off when the boy returns home alive and apparently none the worse for wear. But Tim won't talk about what happened to him deep beneath the earth in the Tonopah Mine. He won't talk about much of anything, in fact. And now he seems to be...changing...
