Mysteries at Midnight: A Collection of Dark Fantasy Tales

An unsolved murder on a seductive resort island with brooding secrets...a mechanical movie prop intended to help create a dream on film, but instead becomes part of a nightmare for those involved...an odd alliance between a Catholic priest and a vampire...a modern day meeting with the real "Phantom of the Opera" and the musical's producer...tales of ghosts and monsters and otherworldly encounters.

This collection of stories by science-fiction and mystery author Gary Alan Ruse explores fantasy realms and the dark side of human - and nonhuman - nature with thrills and chills, and, in some cases, a touch of humor.

A Treasure Trove for a Mystery Lover

This delightful collection of short stories is reminiscent of Rod Serling's brief but chilling tales of the supernatural. Each unique in its own way, these stories all lure the reader down a dark, mysterious path, all the while setting the stage in pure Gothic fashion. From a fantastical unicorn on a movie set who has a mind of its own to an odd pairing of a priest with a vampire to solve a crime, this collection never ceases to tantalize.The author combined his amazing imagination with eloquent prose and description to take the reader on a truly thrilling ride.
I listened to the audiobook version of this collection, and found the narrator to be exquisitely talented at accents and at setting the mood. I highly recommend this book to anyone who savors a paranormal experience.
