Violent Nights is a collection of short stories by Candace Nola, eight dark tales of terror, horror, and pain.
Included in the collection:
“Absence of Absolution: Part II” is the continuation of her story “Absence of Absolution,” which can be found on her blog at https://www.candacenolaauthor.com/pos....
“Skins” speaks to a woman’s (person’s, really) internal torment in a story both horrifying and moving.
“Ivy League” is an intense tale of enduring retribution that makes a statement regarding enduring pain.
“Rebirth” is a story written in deep and moving prose that speaks to the pain and power of mother nature.
“The Lost Diary” is a dark and horrifying speculative story of the lost colony of Roanoke.
“Nubs” is a chilling tale of curiosity turned obsession.
“Clownshoes” is a haunting and brutal tale of workplace abuse, mental anguish, and retribution, and includes poignant depictions of harassment and abusive behaviors that I felt in my gut.
“Music Box Dancer” is a dark and moving story of loss, pain, and retribution.
Fans of Candace Nola’s writing will love this collection. And if you aren’t familiar with her work, this is a great place to start.
