Night Music: Nocturnes Volume 2 - Paperback

by John Connolly (Author)

From the bestselling author of the Charlie Parker mysteries--"the finest crime series currently in existence" (The Independent)--comes a chilling anthology of supernatural short fiction that blends literary horror, dark fantasy, and psychological suspense.

A decade after Nocturnes first terrified and delighted readers, John Connolly returns with a second collection of haunting tales drawn from the shadows. These stories range from monstrous encounters perfect for long winter nights to eerie fables of haunted books and impossible libraries, from ghostly meditations on love beyond death to a candid, deeply personal reflection on the author's lifelong fascination with demons, myths, and the supernatural.

Night Music: Nocturnes 2 also includes two acclaimed novellas--The Caxton Private Lending Library & Book Depository and The Fractured Atlas--both celebrated for their atmospheric menace and imaginative power.

Elegant, unsettling, and irresistibly dark, this masterful collection proves that few writers can make terror so seductive. This is supernatural fiction meant to be savored--with the lights on.
