Nocturnal Pursuits

By Glenn Rolfe

Publisher Description

Glenn Rolfe (Blood and Rain and August's Eyes) is back with a new collection of deliciously frightening, thought-provoking horror. Whether dealing with werewolves in "The Dead Brother Situation", a vicious cult in "The Devil's Kin", an evil doll in the Splatterpunk Award-nominated "Molly", or gut-wrenching loss in "Gone Away", these fifteen dark tales promise to entertain, cause your skin to crawl, and make you feel a little more.

Nocturnal Pursuits takes you on a journey into the heart of an author both obsessed with and afraid of the macabre. Be it a suicide woods, a crazed gas station attendant, or neighborhood enigma throwing a party, you won't soon forget these encounters.

When the shadows fall upon the day and the living are fast asleep, Glenn Rolfe is wide-awake wrestling with aliens, demons, and the ghosts that take up the dark corners of his mind. You've been invited. Don't say we didn't warn you.

“Don't let the title lull you into a false sense of security when the sun rises. The danger is everywhere, on land and in the water. You are just as likely to encounter evil in the dark of night as you are in a daycare or a fishing trip. You may not even be able to identify who the bad guy is or where the source of danger will come from until it's too late. It's a trap. Trust nothing and no-one. My favorites were The Guide, which is one of the more milder stories, less about terror and more about loss. You Can Have It All Back in which a terminally ill woman on hospice care begins to hear a voice. Out Of Range is a great example of not knowing where the danger will come from, and having no way to prepare or protect yourself. Kelvin's World is revenge with a twist. If you love short horror stories as much as I do, this book is for you. Nocturnal Pursuits is full of murderous surprises. 4 out of 5 stars I received an advance copy for review.”
