THE MIDNIGHT MAN (The Short Stories of Stephen Laws)
This short story collection was previously issued by Silver Salamander Press under the kind auspices of John Pelan - but the updated release contains stories written since that original publication. There are also notes on the writing of each story, and stealing some inspiration from Harlan Ellison - whose original OUTER LIMITS television screenplays were published alongside the original stories way back when - I've also included the screenplay for my short horror movie THE SECRET (together with the story) including notes on the location filming. So it's possible to compare the story to the screenplay - and even the short movie itself (which is currently available briefly on Youtube, together with a couple of trailers). I'm also very pleased to report that it won the Macabre award in New York for best short horror film.

““Stephen Laws is the authentic article - a writer whose love of good horror is as profound as his skill with it. He’s one of the true contemporary treasures of the field. Supernatural horror would be a lot poorer without him.””
““Stephen Laws has always had the gift of making his readers believe the unbelievable ... even when they would really rather not. His horrors rise from the page like a corpse rising from a rain-soaked grave and touching you with a cold, muddy hand.” ”
““Stephen Laws is the real thing. For me he’s the classic horror writer.” ”
