"Before the light of dawn, you will know the fury of the dead.
Originally published in 1980 and long sought after by fans, Dennis Etchison’s novelization of John Carpenter’s The Fog is widely regarded as one of the finest novelizations ever published. Reveling in the eerie, coastal horror, Etchison transforms the classic film into a haunting work of horror literature.
A writhing icy mist pulsing with terror. It is too late to escape. Even now the people of Antonio Bay are cut off, engulfed. Along darkened streets, death searches them out. There is no sanctuary for the living. Those who are doomed will die horribly. Those who are spared will suffer the endless fear of a soul-chilling night when the dead, finally, return for revenge.
Includes an introduction on Dennis Etchison by writer Christian Francis."
"Etchison’s fiction is justly famous for its creepy ambience, and explores the terrain mapped out by Philip K. Dick, Thomas Harris, and any number of black and white horror movies. This is his legendary first collection, carefully corrected by the author for this new edition. The title story won both the World Fantasy Award and the British Fantasy Award in 1982, the first time a single work received both major awards. Contents include sixteen groundbreaking stories and an introduction by Ramsey Campbell.
