A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

'Read it with the lights down low, or by the light of the moon, but just read it and revel in this macabre master storyteller' Starburst

From the bestselling author of the Charlie Parker mystery series - 'the finest series of crime series currently in existence' (Independent) - comes a new anthology of chilling short fiction.

A decade after NOCTURNES first terrified and delighted readers, John Connolly, bestselling author of fourteen acclaimed thrillers featuring private investigator Charlie Parker, gives us a second volume of tales of the supernatural. From stories of the monstrous for dark winter nights to fables of fantastic libraries and haunted books, from a tender account of love after death to a frank, personal and revealing account of the author's affection for myths of ghosts and demons, this is a collection that will surprise, delight - and terrify.

NIGHT MUSIC also contains two novellas: the multi-award-winning THE CAXTON PRIVATE LENDING LIBRARY & BOOK DEPOSITORY, and THE FRACTURED ATLAS.

'Twists the classic ghost story in a modern macabre way' Radio Times John Connolly is the author of fourteen Charlie Parker thrillers, all of them bestsellers. He is the first non-American writer to win the US Shamus award and the first Irish writer to be awarded the Edgar by the Mystery Writers of America. www.johnconnollybooks.com

Revue de presse :

Connolly never disappoints; his writing is always flawless, sympathetic and with beautifully drawn characters . . . Night Music is a worthy follow-up to Nocturnes, and there is much to enjoy here - and much to think about, too. A must for John Connolly's many fans. A collection of supernatural fiction to rattle your cage. (Marie O'Reagan Mass Movement)

Connolly knows how to unsettle, chill and outright terrify his readers . . . he displays his aptitude for crafting creepy supernatural tales (Michael Berry Portland Press Herald)

Connolly is a master of creating exquisite short stories, and Night Music is (if you'll excuse the music reference) "all killer, no filler!" The stories on offer range from charmingly whimsical to absolutely terrifying, with one or two being reminiscent of Clive Barker at his goriest best. (Starburst)
