by S. T. Joshi (Editor), Dennis Etchison (Author)

In this second printing, Cycatrix Press is proud to bring the highly acclaimed collection Dennis Etchison's It Only Comes Out at Night, previously only available as a limited-edition hardcover (out of print) from Centipede Press to an affordable trade paperback with the addition of previously uncollected fiction, new illustrations, and unpublished appreciations by fellow authors.

More about It Only Comes Out at Night: Few writers of horror fiction are held in such high regard as Dennis Etchison. This career retrospective takes his best fiction, culled from nearly fifty years in the field.

Dennis Etchison (1943-2019) was an American writer and editor of fantasy and horror fiction. Etchison referred to his own work as "rather dark, depressing, almost pathologically inward fiction about the individual in relation to the world." Stephen King has called Dennis Etchison "one hell of a fiction writer" and he has been called "the most original living horror author in America."

It is his work in the short story format that is especially well regarded by critics and genre fans. His first short story collection, The Dark Country, was published in 1982. Its title story received the World Fantasy Award as well as the British Fantasy Award for Best Collection of that year, the first time one writer received both major awards for a single work. He was nominated for the British Fantasy Award for "The Late Shift" (1981), as well as won the award in 1982 for "The Dark Country," and also won it for Best Short Story, for "The Olympic Runner" (1986) and "The Dog Park" (1994), all of which are included in this 600+ page retrospective.

Etchison is generally regarded as one of the finest writers currently working in the horror genre, especially by his peers. The late Karl Edward Wagner proclaimed him "the finest writer of psychological horror this genre has ever produced." Charles L. Grant called Etchison "the best short story writer in the field today, bar none." This collection of stories features a new introduction by S.T. Joshi, original story notes by Dennis Etchison, and in this second edition, uncollected fiction and appreciations by fellow authors, including Ramsey Campbell, Peter Atkins, Jason V Brock, Wiliam F. Nolan, and others.

Regarded as the best collection of Etchison ever published, this affordable volume is attractive to readers and collectors alike.
