Night Visions was an American series of horror fiction anthologies published 1984–1991 by Dark Harvest. The science fiction bibliographer and scholar Neil Barron notes that: “Night Visions is an important series insofar as many of the stories it published represented some of the best short fiction produced by its writers, and that “it is a cornerstone of any modern horror library.”
