By day it was paradise. By night it was a seething hell. Nightworld, where for centuries werewolves, dragons, griffins, and vampires served a computerized Prince of Darkness... Where every sunset brought forth a call for the most heinous acts imaginable by the most frightening creature of all... Where a courageous young lord and a determined outworlder set forth on a journey of innumerable terrors to destroy the computer creature known as Satan in its own technologically horrifying haven of hell!

For five hundred years a mad computer scientist who called himself Satan ruled the nights of the planet Styx, each sundown unleashing hordes of cyborg creatures--werewolves, vampires, dragons, and worse--to terrorize what had once been the idyllic Victorian villages of an interstellar pleasure world. Then Satan was killed by Geoffrey Turner and young Oliver Dolan--and things grew worse, for Satan's creations, left to their own devices, quickly began to terrorize the days as well as the nights. It was left to Oliver Dolan to pacify the creatures and defeat Satan's last, most insidious weapon--before all men were turned into Zombies.

This is the way the world ends…not with a bang but a scream in the dark.

It begins at dawn, when the sun rises late. Then the holes appear. The first forms in Central Park, in sight of an apartment where Repairman Jack and a man as old as time watch with growing dread. Gaping holes, bottomless and empty…until sundown, when the first unearthly, hungry creatures appear.

Nightworld brings F. Paul Wilson’s Adversary Cycle and Repairman Jack saga to an apocalyptic finale as Jack and Glaeken search the Secret History to gather a ragtag army for a last stand against the Otherness and a hideously transformed Rasalom.
