A Night in the Lonesome October

Front Cover
William Morrow and Company, 1993 - Fiction - 280 pages
During a dark autumn in the late 19th century, dog Snuff loyally accompanies a mysterious knife - wielding gentleman named Jack on his midnight rounds through the murky streets of London - collecting the grisly ingredients needed for unearthly rite that will take place not long after the death of the moon. Original and wildly entertaining, A Night in the Lonesome October is a darkly sparkling gem - an amalgam of horror, humor, mystery and fantasy that is exactly what one would expect from the inspired union of two extraordinary talents.
