Light Burns Brightest in the Dark Stories have the power to confront the shadows-whether they lurk in our world, in realms beyond, or deep within the human psyche. They can take us on harrowing and haunting journeys, introduce us to fascinating and frightening characters, and leave us haunted and changed long after the final page. Yet it is within the darkest stories that hope burns brightest: acts of desperation, passion, and overcoming reveal the power and resilience of the human-and sometimes non-human-spirit. In the gaping maw of the blackest abyss, beauty and wonder await. After all, fear is a component of awe-and of courage. In the third All Worlds Wayfarer anthology, immerse yourself in 34 unique stories of dark fantasy and fantastical horror that take on challenging themes, stir intense emotions, and bring you into extremes of experience. Throw off the shackles of the safe and mundane and delve Into the Dark.
