Description
In the dark, nothing - and nowhere - is off-limits, and anything can happen. Seventeen original stories feature unforgettable teens who find comfort, confront fears, lose what they value most, and gain everything in the enveloping darkness. Saundra Mitchell presents tales of the dangers, possibilities, and hopes born of darkness by: Sarah Rees Brennan, Tessa Gratton, Rachel Hawkins, Christine Johnson, Valerie Kemp, Malinda Lo, Myra McEntire, Saundra Mitchell, Sarah Ockler, Jackson Pearce, Aprilynne Pike, Dia Reeves, Beth Revis, Carrie Ryan, Jon Skovron, and Courtney Summers. And one very special story by the winner of the Defy the Dark New Author Contest!

Reviews
