Review
From Publisher’s Weekly:
From Publisher’s Weekly:
Most
of the 13 all-original tales in this superlative anthology are
unified by strange or unpleasant incidences occurring after the
stroke of midnight. In contrast, Alan Jacobson’s thrilling “12:01
AM,” about a kidnapper patterning himself after a serial killer on
death row, defies the perception that nothing good happens after
midnight, as does John Land’s “ATM,” a redemption tale of a
young man sent on a series of vague quests to improve people’s
lives. Of special distinction are Linwood Barclay’s sublime
nail-biter, “Night Shift,” about a newspaperman trying to stop a
late-night caller from going on a killing spree, and Kevin O’Brien’s
“Cell Phone Intolerant,” a darkly amusing vigilante tale of an
anti–cell phone zealot whose crusade to punish inconsiderate people
has shocking repercussions. Other standouts include Heather Graham’s
disquieting spine-chiller, “Midnight in the Garden of Death,” in
which high schoolers spend the night in a cemetery, and Deaver’s
supernatural gothic, “A Creative Defense,” which underscores the
power of music. This volume is guaranteed to keep readers burning the
midnight oil well into the wee hours.
