Take his hand and follow him into the darkness . . .
John Connolly, bestselling author of five brilliantly scary mystery novels, now turns his pen to the short story to give us more than a dozen chilling tales of the supernatural. In this macabre collection, echoing masters of the genre from M R James to Stephen King, Connolly delves into our darkest fears - lost lovers, missing children, subterranean creatures and predatory demons.
Framing the collection are two substantial novellas: 'The Cancer Cowboy Rides' charts the fatal progress of a modern-day grim reaper, while 'The Reflecting Eye' is a haunted house tale with a twist and marks the return of private detective Charlie Parker, the troubled hero of Connolly's crime novels.
The perfect antidote to Christmas cheer, 'Nocturnes' is a masterly volume to be read with the lights on - menace has never been so seductive . . .
