Product Description

Dack Shannon, albino agent from secret intelligence cabal Majestic Services, is exiled to a remote locale and dispenses ruthless justice as he sees fit. Through tales of suspense, horror, mystery, science fiction, and noir-adventure, Dack struggles to maintain the paradox of his ruined life while serving a higher call. Encountering serial killers, supernatural Goths, government agents, superior technology, conspiracies, and the deranged, Dack discovers murky realms of the human mind gone wild. Nocturnal Vacations is the first collection of stories featuring this flawed, but irrepressible character. We are given a peek inside the mind and mysterious world of Dack Shannon?his friends, Detective Frehley, Father Malachi, M.E. Judy Spears and acolyte, firebrand stripper Brittany Brennan. Can Dack Shannon follow the program of his superiors to help in the formation of a new society?or will his inner demons consume him? Come in. Inhale the darkness. Welcome to his Hell.

By John Dark (Seattle WA) - See all my reviews
Nocturnal Vacations is a really good book. Dack Shannon is the meanest good guy out there.This is Noir/Horror with a very dark edge. If you like your action stories with a lot of blood and guts. Pick up a copy of Nocturnal Vacations.
Long Live Dack!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Top of the line., March 14, 2003
By Rich Logsdon (Las Vegas, Nevada United States) - See all my reviews
Steve Shrewsbury's Dack Shannon tales represent some of the best writing on the Internet. The character is carefully thought-out and developed, the situations are clever, and the stories are well-crafted. The stories of Nocturnal Vacations reveal why Steve Shrewsbury is regarded as one of the top on-line horror writers. Keep it up, Steve.
