What Happens When the Stars Go Out

I'm a cop in the weirdest town on Earth. If we ever catch these killer clowns or figure out why an abandoned house is screaming, we might get around to that strange presence in the sewers. The last time I got high, I never came down. I've always hated my reflection. I'm starting to think the feeling is mutual. I used to be appalled watching generals trade 200 men for 100 yards of mud. After a year in the trenches, I might volunteer for the next wave. I've got the vampire I've been hunting right where I want him. Or is it the other way around? WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE STARS GO OUT finds the horror, heartbreak, wonder, and weirdness in 13 stories about the frightening and the impossible, falling headlong into the dark, and the stubborn things inside us that help us claw our way back out.
