The Nightmare Chronicles

When you enter these nightmares, thereâ€™s no way out...
Meet Oliver, whose dead wife may just be waiting for him down a dark alley. Or Jane Boone, traveling to a distant country to meet the most brutal of killers â€“ or is he a god? Or Nix, an inmate using the geometry of night itself to escape...and more in this award-winning collection of horror & suspense stories from the NY Times bestselling author whose tales â€œcan chill the spine so effectively the reader should keep paramedics on standby!â€ (Dean Koontz).

Winner of both the Bram Stoker Award and the International Horror Guild Award.

Praise for The Nightmare Chronicles:

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

â€œCleggâ€™s (The Halloween Man, etc.) collection of 13 tales takes risks and is full of passions that sometimes burst forth violentlyâ€¦Cleggâ€™s use of innovative metaphors catapults each story beyond a landscape crowded with the horror genreâ€™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. â€“ 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 youâ€™re ever likely to come upon.. Cleggâ€™s best storiesâ€¦slip into your subconscious and stay with you well beyond the last turning of the page...â€ â€“ The Chiaroscuro
