From the publisher's introduction: "I first became aware of John Maclay not as a writer, but as a publisher – of the now-classic «Masques» horror anthology series, edited by the late, great J.N. Williamson, and a number of other books. When the original Masques appeared, I remember looking at the spine and noting that it was published a company called Maclay that I had never heard of before. But that name stuck, and soon I began noting John Maclay's stories in various anthologies and magazines. He – like many of the dark fantasists who emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s – had a distinctive voice, very different from the fantasists who came before. He still writes that way, fusing horror, fantasy, and suspense (often with an erotic element).<P> "Over the years, John has steadily built up an impressing body of work, and I am delighted that he accepted my invitation to contribute a volume to the MEGAPACK® series. So here are 15 modern classics of dark fiction. Enjoy!"<P> Included are:<P> NEW YORK NIGHT<BR> A YOUNGER WOMAN<BR> LYNN<BR> KARI<BR> THE ONE THING TO FEAR<BR> WIDOWED<BR> TOM RUDOLPH'S LAST TAPE<BR> STARDOM<BR> MAX<BR> THE HOLE<BR> WHO WALKS AT NIGHT<BR> THE GREEN GLASS BOTTLE<BR> AN IRON MAIDEN<BR> LATE LAST NIGHT<BR> IF IT’S ALL THE SAME TO YOU<P> If you enjoy this ebook, don't forget to search your favorite ebook store for «Wildside Press Megapack» to see more of the 280+ volumes in this series, covering adventure, historical fiction, mysteries, westerns, ghost stories, science fiction – and much, much more!
