John Connolly is author of the Charlie Parker mysteries, The Book
of Lost Things, the Samuel Johnson novels for young adults and,
with his partner, Jennifer Ridyard, co-author of the Chronicles of
the Invaders. John Connolly's debut - EVERY DEAD THING - introduced
the character of Private Investigator Charlie Parker, and swiftly
launched him right into the front rank of thriller writers. All his
subsequent novels have been Sunday Times bestsellers. He was the
winner of the 2016 CWA Short Story Dagger for On the Anatomization
of an Unknown Man (1637) by Frans Mier from NIGHT MUSIC: Nocturnes
Vol 2.
In 2007 he was awarded the Irish Post Award for Literature. He was
the first non-American writer to win the US Shamus award and the
first Irish writer to win an Edgar award. BOOKS TO DIE FOR, which
he edited with Declan Burke, was the winner of the 2013 Anthony,
Agatha and Macavity awards for Best Non-Fiction work.
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.

Connolly knows how to unsettle, chill and outright terrify his
readers . . . he displays his aptitude for crafting creepy
supernatural tales
*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.
