In this third installment of the Dark Dozen series, stories collide with the real-life horror of Mother Nature in all her glory.

Curated and edited by Candace Nola, with a foreword by Patrick R. McDonough, Dark Disasters features stories by Kristopher Rufty, Tim Meyer, Caitlin Marceau, Lucas Mangum, Rebecca Rowland, Andre Duza, Brennan LaFaro, Judith Sonnet, Bridgett Nelson, Michael Moore, Tony Evans, and Kate Kingston.
"This anthology is every weatherman's nightmare and every reader's dream. Each story is its own forecast for countless sleepless nights." - Clay McLeod Chapman, author of What Kind of Mother and Ghost Eaters
"Dark Disasters is a book like no other. Twelve gripping tales of fire, flood, storm and other tragedies. Fear, destruction, and death abound in these stories of humanity under seige. Sometimes it's the storm that gets you. Sometimes it's the supernatural. And sometimes, the people you're locked inside with are the most terrifying of all..."-Jill Giradi, author of Hantu Macabre
