This mighty weird story ends a mighty weird book. Weirdness with truth at its heart. The color of the carnival clown.The detailed review of this book posted elsewhere under my name is too long or impractical to post here.Above is one of its observations at the time of the review.
Editor C.M. Muller has produced a second spectacular volume of "strange and darksome tales," longer and arguably even better than the first. As in the first volume, speculative fiction veterans share space with newer authors for an excellent blend of stories.

More delicious weird tales from a variety of authors. Some of whom gush strangeness from every pen stroke, others of whom simply speckle a drop or two into the fabric of the story, letting the drop (or two) slowly seep in.

I found the second volume of Nightscript a little weaker than the first, though this may be due to my own personal preference as the stories here trend more towards the weird than outright horror. My favorite stories in the collection were "As Summer's Mask Slips", "No Abiding Place on Earth", and "Pause for Laughter".
