Bram Stoker Award Winners Bruce Boston and Alessandro Manzetti combine their poetic and narrative talents in a poetry novella that blends the genres of horror, surrealism, crime, and noir. Set in a large America city, Sacrificial Nights follows the lives of some of those who inhabit its late-night streets: prostitutes, pimps, a thief, an arsonist, a police detective, a psychotic killer, and more. Their tales and the tale of the city itself are richly complemented by British artist Ben Baldwin&rsquo;s striking illustrations. This is a dark read with some explicit graphic content.<br /><br />&ldquo;Original, intelligent and exquisitely rendered, Sacrificial Nights is an absolute tour de force, a richly layered Chinese Box of sorts, where each part is as important as the whole. In a world of cookie-cutter plots and tired poetry, Sacrificial Nights is a shot of cool night air, shadowy, dangerous, and addictive as sin.&rdquo; &mdash;Greg F. Gifune, author of The Bleeding Season<br /><br />&quot;When a book is both lucid and hallucinogenic, the effect can be shocking, luminous &hellip; transgressive. The collision of talents in this extraordinary work practically establishes a new genre &ndash; macabre noir.&quot; &mdash;Robert Dunbar, author of Willy<br /><br />&ldquo;Populated by denizens who straddle the line between salvation and damnation, Sacrificial Nightsreads like a flashlight exploration of the darkness lurking behind closed doors and down blind alleys. Boston and Manzetti deftly navigate the shadows where human monsters dwell.&rdquo; &mdash;Michael McBride, author of Subterrestrial
