Supernatural "Black Dogs," UFOs, a vampire shark, parasite-infested children, and a foul-mouthed marionette from another dimension. These are just some of the dark delights to be found collection NOCTURNAL EMISSIONS by Jeffrey Thomas - the fertile imagination behind the Punktown and Letters From Hades series, and finalist for the Bram Stoker and John W. Campbell awards. Thomas demonstrates the wide range of his ability in these short stories, novellas and poems, which include:Godhead Dying Downwards, Thomas' acclaimed novella, in which a 19th Century priest seeks to solve ghostly mysteries in the British countryside. The Night Swimmers, in which two brothers investigate UFO sightings in a New England forest. The Possessed, a "New Weird" style science fiction/horror novella in which three explorers utilize a strange method of traveling to a far world. Nocturnal Emissions, a novella (or collection of mini stories, if you'd rather) about imbalance, love, TV, a giant floating eye, and other enigmas - one chapter of which features pop star Walter Egan (Magnet and Steel) as its protagonist.
