A mysterious metallic ticking wakes up a journalist in the middle of the night, a somnambulant woman is accused of being possessed, a tomb is desecrated and with it its contents cursed, a violinist falls madly in love with the shadow of a woman... Nocturno rediscovers the best supernatural narrative stories of the early 20th century, and brings to the bookstore writers who have made history of the genre, from Hugh E. Wright to F. Britten Austin and Austin Philips. Agile, pulsating and full of spirits, Nocturno is a book to read and reread on the darkest nights.
