Books with title Nocturnes

John Connolly, bestselling author of five brilliantly scary mystery novels, turns his pen to the short story, giving us a dozen chilling tales of the supernatural. In this macabre collection, inspired by the masters of the genre, Connolly delves into our darkest fears - lost lovers, missing children, subterranean creatures and predatory demons. Framing the collection are two novellas: The Cancer Cowboy Rides charts the progress of a modern-day grim reaper, while The Reflecting Eye is a haunted house tale with a twist that marks the return of private detective Charlie Parker, Connolly's troubled hero.
