Night Watchman [Paperback]

James V. Viscosi (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 1, 2002

Nate Watson is a cop in a bad section of Island City. Responding to a call from a frightened old woman, Nate and his partner Frank encounter a group of teenage thugs playing at black magic on the decrepit rooftops of the slums. Except they're not playing. Defeated by the boys' mysterious powers, Frank meets his death at the bottom of a ventilation shaft. He's the lucky one. The boys drag Nate into a circle of candles and saw him open from neck to waist, playing with what they find inside. When he dies they lose interest, snuff the candles, and depart. The night cools. The crows come to feed on the corpse. But then the candles flare back into life, and the birds take frightened flight, and Nate Watson returns...with a vengeance.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Whew, on a scale of 1 to 5, Mr. Viscosi is hiccuping a thousand!  What a tremendous ride Night Watchman is!  Thrills and chills, oh yeah! but better yet for the nightmare deprived among us, there are images that jump off the page into your imagination and set up a smoldering, fungoid like growth that won't go away...This book's got everything a horror book needs.  Love and heroism and monsters. There's even explosions and ghosts and wonderful characters, including one who throws fire the way other people throw baseballs." --M. Kenyon Charboneaux for Blackmask Online --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.
