NOCTURNES

****A COLLECTION OF SHORT STORIES FROM THE MASTER OF CHILL****

“Connolly creates those rarest of books – literate and beautifully written page-turners.” Mark Billingham, Daily Mail.

Take his hand and follow him into the darkness…

John Connolly here 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.
