Midnight Lullabies: Unquiet Stories and Poems is a collection of the horror short stories and poems—both old and new—by New York Times bestselling author and 5-time Bram Stoker Award-winner, Jonathan Maberry.
In the darkest hours of the night the natural world yields to the creatures who dwell in the dark. A serial killer who adopts orphaned children during the apocalypse; a heartbreaking reconciliation of two estranged brothers; a paralyzed MMA fighter receiving an offer he can't refuse; strange voices crying out from the heart of a collapsed mountain; a little girl who enlists the aid of the monsters in her closet to battle cosmic horror; a delicious revenge by a refugee from the death camps; rednecks battling zombies; a terrified child whose family has become monsters; Earth-borne horrors taking hold on an alien world; and more! Plus, new horror tales and eerie poems.
With a foreword by New York Times bestselling author, Joe R. Lansdale.
