15 Tales of Darkness Lie Within
this Thrilling Collection of Horrific Adventure

The Magic Man comes when you least expect him. Give him what he wants and he'll grant you your heart's desire, but are you prepared to pay the price?

A mother of two is en route to take her kids to the babysitter's when darkness envelops her car and covers the world in blacks and grays.

No matter how many times Sharon tries to beat the Spinning Room, someone always dies, unless she can find a way to conquer this tower of terror once and for all.

Jimmy learns plenty about his life when he encounters an evil version of himself in his car's rearview mirror.

A trip out to the family cabin is not what it seems and cigarette-loving Robert is granted the chill of his life.

It's dinner at the Michaels' Estate and Terrance Michaels must face the truth of what goes on beneath his house's roof.

Father Haldo has heard every sin imaginable. He just wasn't prepared to enter Booth 2 for this particular round of confessions.

Imagine waking up surrounded by damp soil only to find yourself in a room with half-buried bodies, faces sticking out from the dirt, and mysterious creatures called Benders. That's exactly what happens to Gary Smith when he finds himself in a place under the earth.

Bernie Calhoun knows nightmares, and the one he had about the Man in the Woods when he was a boy still haunts him to this day. To make matters worse, he realizes he might have brought something back with him into the real world long ago.

These tales and more await you within.

Gathering material spanning a decade, A.P. Fuchs
shares his nightmares.

I love horror stories, and this anthology by the talented A. P. Fuchs is a real treat for horror fans. You can find a nice variety of topics in the tales of this volume. It's like a bag of candy snacks for terror lovers: from the supernatural to the mundane, from sadness and desperation to complete insanity. Characters like the Magic Man and Mr. Jitterbones will haunt my darkest dreams forever.

I loved this selection, I hope you give it a try. You will not regret it...

Definitely not my type of book. I couldn't even finish reading it. I had a hard time understanding where one story ended and the next story started. I also didn't like the way the stories just stopped. There was no good ending to any of the few I struggled through.

Hated this book. After a while, all the stories become the same and it is just boring. It is well written and all, but it becomes very cumbersome.

I definitely appreciate the author's effort in writing these tales. The ideas are good and the writing is fluid. However, these stories just did not connect with me. I would recommend this collection to other readers. Just because they didn't click with me, doesn't mean these stories might not scare the crap out of you! Give AP Fuchs a chance to entertain you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fuchs Early work shines in this collection
Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2013
Magic Man and 15 other tales really shows the tone and style A.P. is known for in the genre... This book brings together some early works that are downright scary!!! Very entertaining read, as usual, Fuchs knows HOW to tell a story that involves the reader form the get go. Don't let the bad reviews turn you away, this is classic horror, mystery, magic, etc... that is set apart from the everyday stuff you see. Fuchs HAS an original style that he has matured over the years, but this collection let's that style shine in it's raw infancy!

This is a great horror collection of interesting and unique short stories, I highly recommend this book and it is well worth the Kindle price. I will definately be looking out for more by this author, this was a good length and a great bargain for Kindle. The stories were well written, sophisticated and interesting with the recurrent appearance of the 'magic man' in most of the stories. Very much enjoyed and very much recommend this collection of creepy tales.

4.0 out of 5 stars all except the last one
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 15, 2011

I really enjoyed this book right up until the last one. The stories are wll written and the book is well worth a read. Unfortunately the last one was set in Victorian London and was beyond belief. Loosely based around the Jack the Ripper story the author ruined the whole thing by suggesting that Victorians in the East End of London celebrated Halloween! A ridiculous concept which ruined the whole thing. I've given this book a 4/5 rating. Up until then it would have got a 5.

Characters with no depth, stories that are just tedious and unexciting to read.

Ugh ! Certainly no terror to be found here. Good cure for insomnia though.

An excellent collection of short horror stories. Enjoyed it as much, if not more than Stephen Kings collection of short stories, of which I am a big fan. Highly recommended.
