  • Break Of Dark is an anthology of short fiction by English author Robert Westall, first published in 1982.

The title refers to the point at which the weird and sinister crosses over into the mundane and interacts with humans; when the irrational and inexplicable comes into conflict with the familiar and ordinary. The stories in the anthology are: * Hitchhiker: In which a young man out hiking and mountain climbing in North-west Scotland encounters a mysterious, naked blonde girl on the roadside. But where is she really from? * Blackham's Wimpy: During the Second World War a British bomber crew experience a haunting encounter with a German fighter-pilot. * Fred, Alice and Aunty Lou: A prank between grown-up school rivals turns distinctly nasty when something crosses over from the other side. * St. Austin Friars: A perfect parish for a new vicar. But why is someone making arrangements for a funeral a month in advance? And why are the Drogo family so very influential in Muncaster? * Sergeant Nice: A spate of mysterious thefts in a pretty seaside town drives the local policeman to distraction. Who can possibly be behind them and why can he never catch them? And why has a horse trough from 1903 suddenly appeared next to the town clocktower?
