A flyboy volunteers for a suicide mission with a copilot from beyond the stars. A painter’s body is possessed by a malevolent force to render a likeness of its hellish beloved. Hundreds of adults mysteriously drown themselves along a one-mile stretch of beach. Two bandits mistakenly steal a severed head—and inherit a nightmare. These and more are the narratives within Nightfall & Other Dangers: stories of ecstasy and terror, memory and madness. Quietly apocalyptic, intimately brutal, and above all else devilishly frightening, this is the beginning of the Nightfall, from which there is no reprieve of dawn.
Author
Improbably, Jacob Steven Mohr has been losing himself in fantasy worlds of his own make since he was eighteen years old. A crazed (and very handsome) bard trapped in the body of a young Southern writer, Mohr has published six short stories and two novels thus far in the genres of horror and fantasy. He regards his stories as his very disobedient children, and loves them all. Daughter of Man is his second book—and his most defiant offspring to date. Mohr is a native North Carolinian. When he isn’t writing (or rewriting… or re-rewriting…) he can be found at one of a dozen amusement parks, cooling his heels in line for the roller coasters, or curled up in bed with a warm book and a cool beer. He’d like to thank his parents for indulging his creative side as a child, and his friends for putting up with what a total dork he can be sometimes. …He’d also like to thank The Academy, but they won’t return his calls.
