A Knight in the Ville: The December Dark

By Steven E. Winters

There is a time in winter when the sun stands still in the sky. When this solstice arrives, so does the Dark. It feeds upon the ambitions, greed, corruption, and fears of the citizens in each town it visits. When a tall and mysterious stranger arrives in tiny Sistersville, WV, on a cold December night, Sergeant Curtis Knight is faced with the toughest case of his career. A waitress dies, a small crippled boy vanishes from his home, and a blizzard descends upon the Ville. As Sergeant Knight pieces together the clues, the Dark begins to feed.

Steven E. Winters

Born and raised in Tyler County, West Virginia, Steven E. Winters was fascinated with the folklore and legends of the Ohio Valley region. With those legends in mind, he wrote A Knight in the Ville, a five-book series based in and around Tyler County. Mixing historical facts with fictional characters, he focused on making his stories short and easy to read. Encouraged by the success of that series, he is now releasing his first short-story collection. Winters served as a law enforcement officer in West Virginia and North Carolina for twenty-three years before retiring in 2003. He now works as a private contractor for a large utility company, which gives him more time to focus on his writing. He currently resides near Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina.
