From #1 internationally bestselling author John Connolly comes Nocturnes, a dark, daring, utterly haunting shot story anthology of lost lovers and missing children, predatory demons, and vengeful ghosts.

Connolly’s collection of supernatural novellas and stories echoes the task of a number of the experts of the genre while never losing his own distinctive tone of voice. In ‘The New Girl,’ a father comes to suspect a burial mound on his property hides something extremely ancient, and incredibly much alive; in ‘The Underbury Witches,’ two London detectives end up battling an especially female evil in a town culled of its menfolk. And finally, personal detective Charlie Parker results in the longer novella ‘The Reflecting Vision,’ where the photograph of an unknown girl turns up in the mailbox of the abandoned house once occupied by an infamous killer. This finding makes Parker to confront the chance that the house is not as empty since it appears, which something continues to be waiting in the darkness because of its chance to kill again.
