Bad things happen in the dark...
It’s been a long night at Hap’s Truck Stop & Roadside Diner. Norma is counting the minutes until the end of her double shift, while her boss Jean is baking the perfect apple pie.
But all hell is about to break loose.
A badly injured stranger staggers in from the dark. Believing he’s been in a road accident, Norma and Jean rush to help. But with the phones down and miles from the nearest town, their chances of saving him are slim.
Then a second stranger appears.
And suddenly it’s not just the man’s life at stake - it’s theirs.
After Midnight is a chilling short psychological horror from Malcolm Richards -- perfect for fans of creeping dread, late-night thrills, and stories that stay with you long after lights out.
