Book excerpt: 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. As with that volume, this second outing by many of the same authors is presided over by celebrated horror comic book writer legend Mr. Nicoli Cuti. Join us again as we venture beyond the thirteenth chime.
