Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Veteran Nolan (Dark Universe) shows the versatility that earned him a 2005 Living Legend Award from the International Horror Guild in this collection of 23 previously uncollected stories. Most are short, sharp horror shockers that end with an O. Henry–type twist, though several range freely into fantasy and science fiction. Among the best are tales with a crime angle. In Listening to Billy, a man finds his frustration with his deteriorating marriage stoked to murderous violence by a fellow bar patron who proves to be something weirdly more than he appears. In Silk and Fire, a James M. Cain homage, a private detective finds himself unwittingly played by a double-crossing client. Ripper!—an effective exercise in supernatural noir—imagines the horror that might happen were the spirit of Jack the Ripper to accompany London Bridge on its transfer from England to Arizona. Whether writing from the perspective of a love-struck werewolf or a serial killer desperately trying to suppress his violent urges, Nolan shows a command of the short story form that's a tribute to his 50 years of perfecting his craft. (Dec.)

Great dark fantasy!, Mar 11 2008
By JoeNoir - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Nightshadows (Paperback)
If you are a Nolan fan, or a fan of Richard Matheson, Charles Beaumont, or the dark fantasy that Ray Bradbury used to write, this is the book for you. As good as his other collections: Dark Universe, and Nightworlds.
Beautiful cover and book design by Patrick Swenson.
