American Nocturne — Hank Schwaeble

American Nocturne is a tour de force of dark fantasy from two-time Bram Stoker Award-winning author Hank Schwaeble, a collection of original, first-time stories of horror and noir alongside a select number of his published short fiction combined in what Edgar Award-winner Robert Jackson Bennett describes as "a hardboiled journey into the spectral nightscape at the edges of Americana." A merging of Sin City and LA Confidential, with a touch of Twilight Zone for added spice, American Nocturne includes what could be the LAST authorised Carl Kolchak/Night Stalker novella. Featuring a rousing Introduction by NY Times best-selling author Jonathan Maberry, AMERICAN NOCTURNE is a feast for the imagination, a smorgasbord of stories for those who like their thrills dark and dangerous.

One of the finest collections in the last ten years!" --Joe McKinney, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Dead City and The Dead Won't Die "Dark, surprising, moving and twisted... a dazzling collection." --David Liss, Edgar Award-winning author of Randoms and The Day of Atonement "Moody, edgy, eclectic--and wonderful...
