Author's Note 01/23: This is a newly edited and polished version of Night Things: Dracula vs Frankenstein. It also sports a new cover.

"Night Things won’t disappoint. It’s pure fun for those of us whose love of monsters from legend and the screen runs deep."-Jonathan Reitan, Scream the Horror MagazineIn a centuries-spanning tale, iconic literary monsters Dracula and Frankenstein, once close as brothers, now sworn enemies, clash in a final showdown beneath New York City. Set in a world much like ours, with a chilling twist—legendary creatures coexist with humans—the macabre melting pot of New York sees vampires, werewolves, zombies, and ghouls pursuing the American dream. Dracula, hailed as the Night Things' messiah, amasses an unstoppable army to eradicate humanity. Meanwhile, New York crime boss Johnny Stücke, Frankenstein's creation, strives to maintain peace, fearing extinction if Dracula unleashes his forces. Terry M. West, acclaimed horror author, delivers a standalone Night Things novel, revealing a world just slightly darker than our own.
