Nightmare Cocktails: Further investigations from the Files of Nick Nightmare

Nick Nightmare, Private Eye, Public Fist, returns in this second selection of fantastic files as the hard-boiled shamus pits his wits against an even darker, more deadly and dangerous bunch of horrors than in his first outing, the Award Winning NICK NIGHTMARE INVESTIGATES.

As the nefarious Dark Army gathers its coils and nastiest villains in preparation for an all-out attempt to subjugate mankind, Nick and his partner, Ariadne Carnadine, the twin-bladed ninja warrior, are up to their necks in trouble, taking on black magicians, the Angels of Malice, the Pumpkin King, Spiderhead and the legions of the outer dark, among others.

With the reformed Vengeance Unlimited, they ride again in Montifellini's dimension-warping Magic Bus, Henry Maclean's wonderful green submarine and travel on the terrifying Train to Nowhere.

Venture with Nick and his amazing associates, among whom are Dokta Dangerous and the Daggermen, the Mire-Beast, Scathach the Witch and her shape-shifting familiar, Caliban as they shoot, punch and slice their way through numerous bizarre worlds to confront new dimensions of evil and near impossible odds.

Here is a mind-bending brand of pulp that has won the author critical acclaim. Black Gate have said of him: "...Cole's imagination is apparently boundless..." and his work "...exploits the genre's freedom in the best possible ways..."
