While the subject of the infamous Black Dahlia Murder has been used as the inspiration of various film, television, and books, Karina Halle eloquently spins this bizarre and unsolved mystery into a tasteful yet haunting tale.
While Elizabeth Short (the Black Dahlia) is at the forefront of Nocturne, it’s Lena and Callahan that lead through the twist and turns of the late 1940’s when mobs ran Hollywood while the glitz and glamour hid the true murky underbelly allowing such nefarious dealings to happen.
What was more interesting is the way she crafted this story, creating a unique narrative that included vampires.
Nocturne is a true masterpiece.
