Description
Strange things are afoot on the Eris Ridge Trail.
The barriers between worlds are breaking down.
People, planes, an entire military base—all have gone missing, transported to an ever-changing cosmic kaleidoscope where they’re hunted, haunted, recruited, and cursed, trapped in time and terrorized by forces they can’t comprehend.
A man afraid of flying boards a never-ending flight. An online paranormal show’s investigation takes a bloody detour. A woman on the run is recruited by a mysterious corporation with nefarious plans. An army guard fights for his life when the military opens a doorway they can’t close.
In An Hour Before Dark, Larry Hinkle returns to the Trail with ten interconnected tales that deepen the mystery while expanding the mythos.
Watch your step on the Trail. It will be dark soon.
Advance Praise
"Larry Hinkle weaves real magic with An Hour Before Dark - an interwoven collection of dark tales of time travel, cosmic horror, and heroism. Powerful, inventive, and deeply weird. Highly recommended!"—Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Red Empire and editor of Weird Tales Magazine
"The stories in Larry Hinkle's terrific An Hour Before Dark form a labyrinth whose branching corridors connect to one another at unexpected points in unexpected ways. You should reconsider boarding that flight, or stopping at that service station, or setting out on that path through the wilderness. But it's probably too late for that, and soon you're going to discover that the United States number more than you remember, that writers whose every book you'd swear you read don't exist, that there are creatures that don't need eyes to follow you. Keep going: the light from the two moons should be enough to guide you on your way."—John Langan, author of Lost in the Dark and Other Excursions
"Larry Hinkle makes short fiction cool again. One of the strongest writers in the field. Get excited when you see his name."—Judith Sonnet, author of Our Sarnath
