Christopher Conlon Books Overview

Midnight on Mourn Street

Reed Waters is the sort of middle aged man few people notice. He’s quiet, polite, solitary. He doesn’t call attention to himself. Ever. Reed Waters has a secret…
. Mauri Dyson is a teenaged runaway, impetuous and explosive. She lies, she steals, she prostitutes herself. Whatever it takes to survive. Mauri Dyson, too, has a secret…
. When Mauri bursts into Reed’s life one rain soaked night she sets in motion a series of events that will spiral out of control, taking the two of them through tears and terror to the brink of madness and a confrontation that will change them both forever.

Saying Secrets

Saying Secrets is the first collection from acclaimed writer and poet Christopher Conlon five tales of contemporary life by turns lyrical and brutal, most originally published in The Long Story literary journal. Whether taking you inside the mind of a horribly disfigured woman, bringing you along on a psychotic teenager’s final rampage, or introducing you to a girl in California who both is and is not Anne Frank, Conlon is a storyteller whose words and worlds you ll not soon forget. This edition features a special Introduction by William F. Nolan, author of some sixty books including Dashiell Hammett: A Life on the Edge and the Black Mask Boys mystery series along with an Afterword by scriptwriter George Clayton Johnson, whose screen credits range from the Sinatra Rat Pack classic Ocean s Eleven to the original Twilight Zone. Together Nolan and Johnson penned Logan s Run, the renowned futuristic novel later made into a highly successful film and television series.

Thundershowers At Dusk

Thundershowers At Dusk‘ collects Christopher Conlon’s finest gothic stories–elegant, unconventional tales of hauntings both psychological and literal. Includes a special Introduction by Stoker Award-winning writer Gary A. Braunbeck.

This edition is limited to 250 copies, each of which is individually signed by Conlon and Braunbeck.

Poe’s Lighthouse

New stories by Edgar Allan Poe?

Impossible, you say?

Not at all. Admittedly, Mr. Poe is in no condition to be writing much these days which is why in this anthology he’s getting a little help from his friends. Friends like Chelsea Quinn Yarbro. Carole Nelson Douglas. John Shirley. Mike Resnick. Some two dozen in all.

These writers were given a task: to take a little known, unfinished story fragment which Poe wrote near the end of his life and turn it into a complete story in any way they wished. The only rule was that they use Poe s language, his images, his ideas that they truly work together with the master.

Today s best authors. Joining forces with Edgar Allan Poe himself.

Posthumous collaborations for the ages collected here in this extraordinary anthology.

Since the Poe fragment s original publication some sixty years ago, a few authors have attempted to complete it but this collection marks the first sustained gathering of talent to work on the piece. Editor Christopher Conlon provides an Introduction which explains the background of Poe s unfinished tale and includes its original, unaltered text, while the completed stories reflect the amazing variety of the writers themselves from lighthearted fantasy to gothic horror, from romantic adventure to hard edged science fiction.

This book, then, is a celebration of the art of storytelling hosted by two dozen dazzling talents, with Mr. Edgar Allan Poe as Guest of Honor.
