Beyond the thirteenth chime, madness reigns.... At the Stroke of Thirteen, the debut collection from Thirteen O'Clock featured strange and horrific stories from invited authors with track records for producing spine chilling tales for dark nights and haunted places that lie beyond the realm of thirteen o'clock.

STEAMWORLD! Travel across time and to exotic worldwide locales in these tales that take the essence of Steampunk to a vast variety of settings, including many set in worlds of the author's own creation. We challenged these writers to not limit their action packed stories of derring-do and fiendish villains and monsters to Victorian England or the Weird West and the results are a widely varied and impressive collage of all the Steampunk elements we love twisted into unique tales guaranteed to thrill and horrify!

Fortuna spins her wheel, lives hang in the balance. The characters within these seven tales of murder and mayhem commit acts of foolish pride and bloody revenge, and will soon learn even the most well laid plans collapse at the whims of Rota Fortunae. In Silhouette of Darkness, George Wilhite has brought together a group of twelve short stories, all written in a dark, modern, and intriguing tone. For me, this collection was Stephen King meets Quentin Tarantino. I believe that Mr. Wilhite is a talented author in a genre that seemed to be dying out. Thankfully, weird fiction is on the resurgence. George Wilhite is a writer that makes a much-needed contribution to this genre, giving us weird fiction/neo-pulp fiction fans something to sink our teeth into that brings to mind that lost age of fiction. --Bitten By Books
