Series:After Dark

"After Dark" is a publisher's series of illustrated short novels (chapter books) for older children with a common theme: "scary". The series editor was Gary Crew.

The original publisher was Lothian Books (Australia), starting in 1995.

The series was taken up by Franklin Watts (UK), starting in 1999. It appears that some of the Lothian titles were dropped and/or rearranged; e.g.
 * The Doll is #23 in Lothian & #14 in Franklin Watts (the latter from the image on Amazon UK)
 * The Ghost of Love Street is 17 / 16, resp.
 * The Crescent Moon is 31 / 18, resp.
 * The Puppet is 35 / 23, resp.
 * The Tunnel is 15 / 24, resp.

The Lothian series numbering has been used in isfdb - gaps filled in from a copy of #40, Isobelle Carmody's The Landlord.
