Night Music: Nocturnes Volume 2 | John Connolly
3 posts | 4 read | 4 to read
From the bestselling author of the Charlie Parker mysteries "the finest crime series currently in existence" ("The Independent") comes a new anthology of chilling short fiction. A decade after "Nocturnes" first terrified and delighted readers, John Connolly, bestselling author of thirteen 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: Nocturnes 2 "also contains two novellas: the multi-award-winning "The Caxton Private Lending Library & Book Depository" and "The Fractured Atlas." "Night Music: Nocturnes 2" is a masterly collection to be read with the lights on menace has never been so seductive."

“It‘s a natural consequence of the capacity of a bookstore or library to contain entire worlds, whole universes, and all contained between the covers of books. In that sense, every library or bookstore is practically infinite.”

This short story from the tagged book is one of my favorites about bookstores/libraries I wish he'd write an entire novel about the Museum.

This collection of stories varies greatly in tone, from whimsical, to grim, to melancholic, to abject Lovecraftian horror. An excellent read, with just enough creepiness.
