Like A Dead Man Walking

Sherlock Holmes...Interdimensional demons...Aliens...Killers and child predators...Time travelers...Vampires...Even the end of the world, in more ways than one, all are contained within these pages. From the darkest corners of imagination to the precipice of human achievement, William F. Nolan delivers the goods in this assortment of recent works: his first all-new collection in his long and storied career. Working with editor Jason V Brock (Milton's Children), Nolan brings to shocking life not only debauched murderers and depraved loners, but also fascinating portraits of personal reflection; the heroes of yore in poetry; pages from Nolan's notebook; and an exclusive, intimate interview with his beloved friend, the late Richard Matheson (I Am Legend). "For ardent readers of Nolan's work, this collection is a must-have." - Hellnotes
