This early collection by David Bain features nine gritty tales of small-city ghosts, crime and transgression, running the gamut from grim humor to stark horror. From the same mileu as David Bain's novel of crime and the supernatural, GRAY LAKE, this collection features stories of spirits and street punks, spectres and the beautiful losers looking for something to save them from the nightside.
WHILE THE CITY SLEEPS was later expanded, adding more stories, and re-released as NIGHT WRITING. This smaller volume is intended as a specially-priced sampler. Almost all of David Bain's short stories are collected in one massive boxed set, UNTIL YOU CAN SCREAM NO MORE, featuring more than 50 stories, more than 700 pages of fiction.
Alternatively, this sampler is also available as part of THE COMPLETE GREEN RIVER CRIME/HORROR BOXED SET, which features three novels and three complete short story collections. All of David Bain's boxed sets feature a discount of at least 33% (up to 66% or more) compared to buying the individual volumes.
