    About this ebook

    This fascinating collection of 15 short stories is a unique blend of science fiction, action, and historical fiction.
    In Night Clouds you will experience:

    A tiger hunt in India that goes very wrong.

    One isolated man’s survival attempt as he awaits the terrifying arrival of otherworldly visitors.

    Firsthand battlefield accounts with some strange occurrences in both WW II and the Revolutionary War.

    An awkward and dangerous stay in an underground bunker with an unstable host.

    Two astronauts stranded on a lifeless asteroid with only one old-fashioned form of entertainment.

    An eerie, plague-devastated world dominated by an unlikely species.

    An astronaut orbiting the Earth who is happiest on his own—with one furry exception.

    A young man’s supernatural ability to pick winning lottery numbers, but it comes at a price.

    And much more!

    Chris Sylvester’s interesting stories travel in different directions but spring from one deep source: the darker side of the imagination.

      May 15, 2018

      R.L. Stine’s horror adventures for kids, Goosebumps, are apparently the second best selling book series in history, right behind the exploits of the world’s most famous wizard. As a lifelong Goosebumps fan, I find this endlessly puzzling. It is
