    The complete collection of Criminal Macabre prose stories by Steve Niles (30 Days of Night) featuring TWO BRAND NEW TALES and an introduction by horror legend John Carpenter!

    Cal McDonald is a detective with one foot in the real world, and one in the world of magic. For Cal, the horrors we all dream about in the fevered darkness of the night are all-too real, kept at bay through an almost constant influx of drugs to numb the pain, but never erase it. Cut from the same mold as Sam Spade, Jake Gittes, and the famous detectives of Chandler, Hammett and Spillane, Cal McDonald, whether he likes it or not, is all that stands between us and the nightmare world just outside our vision.

    Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 464 pages, Text Only.

    1st Edition - 1st printing.

    By Steve Niles.

    The world has two faces. The natural and the supernatural. The face we see every day, people filing past us in an almost zombie-like stupor, numb to the horrors of everyday life or driven to madness by the pain and agony of modern-day existence. And those are the people who aren't zombies or monsters!

    Cal McDonald is a detective with one foot in the real world, and one in the world of magic. For Cal, the horrors we all dream about in the fevered darkness of the night are all-too real, kept at bay through an almost constant influx of drugs to numb the pain, but never erase it.

    Cut from the same mold as Sam Spade, Jake Gittes, and the famous detectives of Chandler, Hammett and Spillane, Cal McDonald, whether he likes it or not, is all that stands between us and the nightmare world just outside our vision.

    Collected for the first time in one book are the long-out-of-print prose adventures of the most unconventional detective of all time. By the author of 30 Days of Night, soon to be a major motion picture.

    Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 424 pages, Text Only.

    Cover price $12.95.
