In his first assortment of short fiction, New York Times best-selling writer John Connolly offers an array of dark, daring, and absolutely haunting tales. Here are lost lovers and absent children, predatory demons, and vengeful ghosts. In "The New Daughter", a dad comes to think that a burial mound on his land hides something very traditional and very much alive; in "The Underbury Witches", a set of London detectives end up battling an especially female evil in a town culled of its menfolk. And lastly, private detective Charlie Parker comes back in the long novella The Reflecting Eyesight, in which the photograph of any unknown girl arises in the mailbox of any empty house once occupied by an infamous killer. This discovery pushes Parker to confront the probability that the house is not as empty as it seems and this something has been ready in the darkness for its chance to destroy again. In these reports, Connolly ratchets up the strain to almost intolerable - and irresistible - levels. Nocturnes is a deliciously chilling collection from "one of the better thriller writers we have" (Harlan Coben).
