For starters, Lee Clark Zumpe's "The Quarantine Station" will remind you of The Island of Dr. Moreau, except the mad scientist in Zumpe's tale experiments with raising the dead. A gutless wonder of a boss gets his comeuppance in Sharon Bidwell's "Brain Dead." In Hal Kempka's "Hunger Pangs," an old house is the vampire, feeding on people who dare try to live in it. The Halloween theme continues, with tales from Marge Simon, Ann Stolinsky, Rod Marsden, Matthew Wilson, and many others.

Night to Dawn 43 offers a unique take on monsters. One of them is a Mylar balloon. That's right, folks, an evil balloon takes on a life of its own and attacks the protag.

Vaccines may have conquered corona for us, but the characters in Night to Dawn 40 face a different ending. In particular, Lee Clark Zumpe's "Worm-sacks and Dirt-backs." The story opens with a maze of dead, shambling people crowding a hospital, seeking relief from their pain. Zumpe's other three stories have grim endings and themes, too. Ken Goldman's "Young Girls Are Coming to Ajo" starts with an ordinary situation and twists its way to horror, with a vampire using a small lizard to do her bloodletting. Gerald Browning's "Giggling in the Dark" also has a grim theme, with the dead laughing as they feed on a human. Poetry and illustrations by Marge Simon, Sandy DeLuca, Denny E. Marshall, Richard H. Fay, and other contributors.

The apocalypse of the movie screen and the printed page has become a reality. A microbe threatens humanity, making Corona seem like the common cold. Innocents die to appease young and hungry gods. A doctor feeds the souls of his patients to a demon. Featuring Marge Simon, Lee Clark Zumpe, Margaret L. Carter, Rod Marsden, Matthew Wilson, and other authors.
