Dark Cities: Dark Tales

Welcome to the weird and wild world of DARK CITIES. You won’t find it on any map, but you will find it between the covers of this book. DARK CITIES: DARK TALES is the realm of Michael McCarty’s three novellas and four short stories. Inside you will find out why zombies stumble across the state of Illinois in the snow; what happens when an aspiring novelist has an affair with a sexy vampire from Florida; who will win -- four teenagers from Texas or giant spiders trying to rule the world in a prequel to Ed Wood’s Plan Nine From Outer Space; the truth about alien sludge creatures that live in the New York sewers; why trolls dwell beneath a stone bridge in a small Midwestern town; and why an Iowa truck driver is delivering a demon south. Welcome to DARK CITIES, but be warned … you’ll enjoy it so much, you may never want to leave!
