In 1996, Richard Chizmar's debut brief history collection, Midnight Promises, was a finalist for the globe Fantasy Award. Publishers Weekly called it "a sterling collection" while singling out "The Silence of Sorrow" as "an understated masterpiece". 2 yrs later, Subterranean Press released a mini-collection from Chizmar entitled Monsters along with other Tales. In his advantages, acclaimed genre critic Edward Bryant said, "When all is said and done, this publication should leave you in utter silence, giving you time and chance to contemplate what you merely read. Hard storytelling from a hardcore copy writer; but a copy writer who's not calloused. Chizmar offers a finely honed surprise of empathy. With utter sophistication and caring kindness, he'll put you right inside the life span (and heart and soul) of the monster." Now, nearly two decades later, Chizmar assembles 35 stories, including a previously unpublished novella, and presents us with A Long December. This significant new collection features more than 150,000 words of Chizmar's absolute best brief fiction and includes 8,000 words of autobiographical history notes. Eerie, suspenseful, poignant, the stories in A Long December range from horror to suspense, crime to dark dream, mainstream to secret.
