Dark of the Day

<p>An anthology of stories to celebrate the April 2024 eclipse in North America. These stories are located in various places and are even of various genres and themes. What they have in common besides featuring eclipses are that they are all written by brilliant authors and will all entertain you. Read them before the eclipse to get into the mood or after to nostalgically remember it. <br><br>During the darkness all manner of things can happen. When people are distracted by this spectacular celestial event criminals can operate unimpeded they can also be caught. <br><br>Trips to see the event can lead to disaster or they can save the day. And the science of looking at the sun becomes important when a partner strays. <br><br>The event can mean many different things to a disaster cult to drug-dealing Russians to an artist striving for his grand opus. <br><br>It spreads across the country to maybe give confirmation to a program to analyze the universe to give a gift to a mermaid in an abandoned water park to show what the crazy guy at the fast food place is really like to help a young girl find her way. <br><br>As a not-so-clever crime goes awry a hike to view the spectacle is interrupted. <br><br>Contributors include Cari Dubiel Katherine Tomlinson Carol L. Wright Joseph S. Walker John Rogers Clark IV M. K. Waller Toni Goodyear Laura Oles Bridges DelPonte Eric Beckstrom Kaye George Paula Gail Benson John M. Floyd Debra H. Goldstein Michael Bracken and James A. Hearn.</p>
