SOUVENIRS FROM THE NIGHT GALLERY GIFT SHOP by Darren Humphries

This is the third short story collection I have produced based on a classic anthology series from my youth (or even before my youth, but watched on repeats). Rod Serling is one of my heroes for his writing on THE TWILIGHT ZONE and the much less well-known NIGHT GALLERY. 

It's very much my usual eclectic selection of tales of the fantastical, with all manner of styles and subjects and themes.

Now that this one's done, it's back to Man From U.N.D.E.A.D. 6.

The full blurb is:

"Souvenirs from the Night Gallery Gift Shop completes the trilogy of short story collections inspired by classic television anthology shows of the past, in this case the legendary Rod Serling's Night Gallery.

Like Sharing a Fence with the Twilight Zone, and Taking the Tube to the Outer Limits before it, this book brings together short tales of science fiction, fantasy and horror with some humour and darkness, along with occasional swearing and the odd bit you might not want to read to your grandmother.

These stories lie at the edge of map where the margins are marked 'Here there be monsters'. And monsters there are, as well as androids and witchcraft and fairies and possibly even miracles, but to say more would be to give too much away. The stories may make you gasp, may make you shudder, may make you cry and may even make you muffins for tea (though that last one is not very likely).

So enter the Night Gallery's gift shop and choose some souvenirs to take home with you to remind you of the time you spent admiring the canvases and the stories they told."
