And
Then the Night

|
|
In
the darkness of an abandoned building, Jim Rankin receives an
instruction from his masters in the otherworld: "Go to Munro,
Noctiviganti. You may wait in the dark no longer." Munro
is a city at war, where two factions of ruthless mobsters battle
for power and a mysterious girl named Asturiana hunts for a secret
from her past.
Jim
Rankin - occultist, detective, and killer - will, as ordered by
his masters, help her find what she is looking for. However, Jim's
only true loyalty is to the powers he serves, and anyone who stands
in the way of his prime objective will be destroyed - even if
that includes Asturiana herself.

Jim
Rankin is Noctiviganti, a man who can visit other worlds in his
dreams. Five years ago he disappeared from his hometown, Nottamun,
unable to face the horrors he found there. Now his masters are
calling him back to Nottamun, a place where black magic and gangsterism
go hand in hand. The place where he left the girl he loved, and
where his mistake cost his best friend's life.
Now
he must be prepared to sacrifice his own.

Review
|
|
"An
astonishing tour de force of noir fantasy, characterized
by some of the most beautifully lyrical, atmospheric writing I've
come across in a long while. Chris Thompson skilfully blends the
mean streets with the streets of dreams in this highly evocative
concoction, offering the reader bafflement, dazzlement, gritty
hard-boiled realism, wonder and astonishment in turn - but always
delight. A Season of Strange Dreams will remain in your
mind long after you've turned the final page."

Grant, co-editor of The Encyclopedia of Fantasy
