The Long Nights took me a while to write for lots of reasons. I’m working on the audiobook (again) now. Out in October, if I can only figure out what platforms…

Another review for THE LONG NIGHTS 90s retro urban fantasy

"Tom Mock's writing is a Godsend. He is such a breath of fresh air for me. I was starving for some good writing.
The story was so engrossing and deliciously spellbinding. I had a hard putting it down.
Just one problem. I'm BEGGING for more!"
- Karen Mess from Goodreads

I liked this review from Dawn a lot. Its really gratifying to win over a reader who isn't sure they love your genre!

five stars. "Urban fantasy isn't my favorite reading fodder. But! Right from the start ("ooh... what the heck?") to the last page ("No. NO. No. Give me 50 more pages"), I was held in this book's grip... If you like the modern world, vampires, icky bits, and plot to stay alive for: PICK THIS UP RIGHT NOW" - Dawn, from Goodreads.

The Long Nights - dark urban fantasy Half-way to 100 ratings! mybook.to/The-Long-Nig...

A killer vampire
A psychic detective
anti-hero
A rainy city c. 1990

Mind-bending search for the victims before they wake
Part witchcraft
part nightmare
There comes a point when you’ve just seen too much. A man loses touch with what makes him different from the monsters. Give him a push and he’ll kill everything he used to love.

"An atmospheric noir thriller telling the story of a psychic detective attempting to thwart a vampire legacy." - Fantasy Book Critic @fantasybookcritic.bsky.social 📕 Full review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... Buy THE LONG NIGHTS 📚 mybook.to/The-Long-Nig...

Review: (cover of urban fantasy novel The Long Nights by Tom Mock)
Shadowy noir thriller
Layerd characters
Tortured protagonist
A twisty turny ending that dislocates your expectations
“Elements of Nolan and Gibson in there besides horror and other aspects, as well as the jazz infused hard boiled crime of Hammett, Elroy etc.“
From: Fantasy Book Critic
