The Nightmare Chronicles

From New York Times bestselling author Douglas Clegg comes the award winning classic short story collection, which "can chill the spine so effectively the reader should keep paramedics on standby!" (Dean Koontz).

For more dark thrills and chills, grab the companion collection, Night Asylum by Douglas Clegg.

Nightmares unfold. This full-length award-winning collection contains 13 stories of horror, dark fiction, the weird, the strange, and the macabre. (Winner of both the Bram Stoker Award and the International Horror Guild Award.)

â€œClegg brings his stories together with a chilling fictive conceit....The effect is dangerously seductive.â€ -- Locus

â€œClegg's (The Halloween Man, etc.) collection of 13 tales takes risks and is full of passions that sometimes burst forth violentlyâ€¦Clegg's use of innovative metaphors catapults each story beyond a landscape crowded with the horror genre's usual monsters and madmen into a territory he alone can claim.â€ â€“ Publisherâ€™s Weekly

â€œâ€¦Like M. R. James, Douglas Clegg can â€˜write about the vile and horrific without seeming to smear it over himself or you.â€™ Like Shirley Jackson he has an understated precision of language and the ability to portray his characters emotionally in a wickedly effective manner. And, like Stephen King, he loves to tell stories and tells them well. At the same time, Clegg is a thoroughly modern writer...Without doubt, one of the best collections of the year. -- DarkEcho

â€œEvery story is perfectly different and definitely unlike any other horror novel/film Iâ€™ve read or watchedâ€¦all of them have their images that could come back to you in your dreams.â€ â€“ Doubleshot Reviews.

â€œClegg writes some of the most harrowing, unforgettable tales you're ever likely to come upon.. Clegg's best storiesâ€¦slip into your subconscious and stay with you well beyond the last turning of the page...â€ â€“ The Chiaroscuro

â€œI was truly impressed with this collection, and was not surprised to learn that it received the 1999 International Horror Guild Award for Best Collection, and the 1999 Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a Fiction Collection.â€ â€“ Casual Debris
