Nocturnes and Other Nocturnes

Twenty-five dark stories that span a daring breadth of genres – by the author of *Objects of Worship* and *The Door to Lost Pages*, which *Publishers’ Weekly* called “intensely memorable” and “insanely imaginative.”

In these noir tales that unfold at the edge of realism, mythic nocturnes from impossible pasts, and disquietingly intimate stories of speculative fiction, Claude Lalumière explores our collective and intertwined obsessions with sex and death.

“In *Nocturnes and Other Nocturnes* Claude Lalumière plumbs the deep trenches of yearning, fear and the agonies of unfulfilled needs.” – from the introduction by Garry Kilworth
