More About This Book

Overview

Scott Sigler reinvented the alien-invasion story in his bestselling novels Infected and Contagious… rebooted the biotech thriller in Ancestor…now, in his most ambitious, sweeping novel to date, he works his magic on the paranormal thriller, taking us inside a terrifying underworld of subterranean predators that only his twisted mind could invent.
 
Homicide detective Bryan Clauser is losing his mind. 
 
How else to explain the dreams he keeps having—dreams that mirror, with impossible accuracy, the gruesome serial murders taking place all over San Francisco? How else to explain the feelings these dreams provoke in him—not disgust, not horror, but excitement? 
 
As Bryan and his longtime partner, Lawrence “Pookie” Chang, investigate the murders, they learn that things are even stranger than they at first seem. For the victims are all enemies of a seemingly ordinary young boy—a boy who is gripped by the same dreams that haunt Bryan.  Meanwhile, a shadowy vigilante, seemingly armed with superhuman powers, is out there killing the killers.  And Bryan and Pookie’s superiors—from the mayor on down—seem strangely eager to keep the detectives from discovering the truth. 
 
Doubting his own sanity and stripped of his badge, Bryan begins to suspect that he’s stumbled into the crosshairs of a shadow war that has gripped his city for more than a century—a war waged by a race of killers living in San Francisco’s unknown, underground ruins, emerging at night to feed on those who will not be missed. 
 
And as Bryan learns the truth about his own intimate connections to the killings, he discovers that those who matter most to him are in mortal danger…and that he may be the only man gifted—or cursed—with the power to do battle with the nocturnals.
 
Featuring a dazzlingly plotted mystery and a terrifying descent into a nightmarish underworld—along with some of the most incredible action scenes ever put to paper, and an explosive, gut-wrenching conclusion you won’t soon forget—Nocturnal is the most spectacular outing to date from one of the genre’s brightest stars.  

Editorial Reviews

Kirkus Reviews
A genre-bending urban fantasy that pits San Francisco's Finest against a subterranean horde of monsters who threaten the human race. Inspector Bryan Clauser, SFPD, is disturbed because he keeps dreaming of crimes that come horrifyingly true when he's awake. Rex Deprovdechuk, 13, is disturbed because the older kids bully him when he's at Galileo High and his mother beats him when he's not. Aggie James is disturbed because someone has snatched him from the streets of San Francisco, where he's made his home ever since things went terribly wrong in his life, and chained him up in an underground realm of mutants who keep taking away his fellow prisoners and killing them one by one. These three unlikely combatants are brought together by a series of murders that seem at first to be the work of a human killer. In short order, someone kills a pedophile priest, a cop newly promoted from Vice to Homicide and several of Rex's teenaged tormentors. Rex and Bryan, not to be outdone, get to taste blood themselves, and very tasty it is too. Sigler (Ancestor, 2010, etc.) drops hints of the paranormal from the beginning, but it's not till halfway through that his tale jumps the shark by means of forensic findings that mark the killers as both human and bestial--and indeed as rather close blood relatives. Once they realize what they're up against and see that the police department and the city government are anything but trustworthy allies, Bryan and his motley crew shift from police-procedural mode to save-the-world heroics, even when "they were outnumbered four to one by motherfucking monsters with guns." A bait-and-switch for fans of police noir, but red meat for readers who wish Harry Potter had swapped his YA credentials for a badge and gun.

    I am SOOO excited to see this in print!

    Scott Sigler presented this story a few years ago as a free podcast. He's re-worked the story and gotten it published. Based on my past experience with Scott Sigler novels, this is a great thing! I'm looking forward to reconnecting with some of my favorite "Siglerverse" characters.

    I've read and/or listened to everything Scott has put out and the original podcast edition of Nocturnal has always been my favorite. I've been waiting for Nocturnal to come out in print since 08 and its well worth the wait. I will admit that I do have some issues with certain changes and edits to this edition but all in all this is one fine book. Certain character and sub plot absences in the print edition take away from the over all story but this really only applies to old school Sigler fans who listened to the original podcast. The biggest and most disappointing change was the major redo of the climatic fight scene. Those who listened to the podcast know what I'm talking about. The original podcast ending was epic and unique while the print version in my mind not only jumped the shark but also was cliched and was the only real smudge on this other wise awesome book. On the plus side I did enjoy the addition of John Smith's sub plot arc of facing his fears as well as the expanded romantic arc between Bryan and Robin. If your new to Sigler be warned he is not PG or politically correct and the book will go down some dark twisted places. But if hardcore horror and gore don't bother you be prepared for an awesome read.

    Great story

    I found Scott Sigler a couple of years ago and he's now one of my favorite authors. He has a great imagination and combines genres well. This is a buddy-cop movie rolled into a bizarre story of supernatural that most horror fans will really enjoy. It's violent, funny, and exciting. Unlike his GFL series, which is great, this book is more adult in language and content. Great read. Highly recommended.

    This is the first book by Scott Sigler that I have read. I am a big fan of horror novels and thrillers, so this sounded right up my alley when I found it. Needless to say, I wasn't disappointed. This was quite a long book - well over 550 pages long. The chapters were short, which keeps the reader actively engaged in the story. The narrative is very well-written and the characters are deep; it was easy to get sucked into the freakish world that Sigler had created. The novel is fast-paced; so even though it was long, it didn't take very long to read. I couldn't put it down. The plot had so many twists and interesting ideas that it truly keeps the reader on their toes and trying to figure out what is going on - right up to the very last chapter. I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes horror novels, thrillers, and things that go bump in the night.
