Criminals break down and confess at that hour; suicides nerve themselves for their attempts; mists swirl in the sky; and - according to the old books of the monks and the hermits - strange, unholy shapes brood over the sleeping rooftops.

Curdling, razor-edged screams that slashed through the thick bedroom door. ("I'm Dangerous Tonight")
