In his first collection of short fiction, New York Times
bestselling author John Connolly offers a selection of
dark, daring, and utterly haunting tales. Here are lost
lovers and missing children, predatory demons, and vengeful
ghosts. In "The New Daughter," a father comes to suspect
that a burial mound on his land hides something very
ancient, and very much alive; in "The Underbury Witches," a
pair of London detectives find themselves battling a
particularly female evil in a town culled of its menfolk.
And finally, private detective Charlie Parker returns in
the long novella "The Reflecting Eye," in which the
photograph of an unknown girl turns up in the mailbox of an
abandoned house once occupied by an infamous killer. This
discovery forces Parker to confront the possibility that
the house is not as empty as it appears, and that something
has been waiting in the darkness for its chance to kill
again.
