In every laboratory, every experiment, there are two diametrical energies at play: chaos and control. The raw pandemonium of what is, and the diamond-sheen of what could be. And in between? Blood, bones, and broken hearts. Because no equation, no solution, will ever be able to contain the wild entropy of the human soul.

Within these pages, you''ll find reverse mermaids and vengeful shrew-women and bloated flesh-monsters tearing down the Golden Gate Bridge. A nurse waving a patient into a haunted MRI machine. A reimagined Mary Shelley obsessing about her galvanic guy. The dead will come back, organs will grow where you least expect them, and "healthy" will be outed as a disease all its own, the most damning by a long mile.

Like the highest-born hopes of bodies sacrificed to progress, like the darkest dreams of the brains behind the beakers, mad science knows no bounds.

Featuring new fiction from Katharine Duckett, A.T. Greenblatt, Ally Malinenko, Tyler Battaglia, Samantha H. Chung, Jonathan Fortin, Brianna Nicole Frentzko, Josh Hanson, Wade Hunter, M.W. Irving, Pooja Joshi, Andrew Kozma, K.L. Mill, Lena Ng, Robert Perez, Jennifer Lee Rossman, Violet Schwegler, and Nicole M. Wolverton. Edited by Eirik Gumeny.

The witching hour. The graveyard shift. Whether it''s ghosts and gremlins or simply folks with nowhere else to go, the middle of the night has never been for the faint of heart. But what happens when the ones only there for the paycheck bump into the ones out for blood?

Midnight turns the normal strange, and makes the strange normal. Within these pages, you''ll find diners and doppelgangers and dead sisters, old gods and creatures of the night coming to hurt -- and help -- in equal measure.

An anthology of horror for the graveyard shift, Open All Night features stories from J.A.W. McCarthy, Danger Slater, Lydia Bugg, Nathan Crowder, Megan Kiekel Anderson, Russ Bickerstaff, Tom Brennan, Laura Garrison, Shanna Germain, Elena Greer, Rik Hoskin, L.S.
