Description

A rock star out of rehab and a mysterious woman nursing a gin and tonic... A stray priest in a hundred year old California Mission... An entire ship desperate to escape World War Two...

These are the stories of Into the Night... And in the morning—no one will be the same.

“A psychological thriller meets alternate history—this series is thought-provoking, breathless… and never predictable.”

SOMEWHERE IN THE MEDITERRANEAN (Book One)

A ship loaded with refugees, desperately seeking to escape the Second World War, arrives off the coast of Israel.

Modern-day Israel. Fifty years after the war ended

THE ARTIST (Book Two)

A rock star out of rehab.

A mysterious woman nursing a gin and tonic.

In a near-empty bar just before closing, this is his last night in Vegas... Ever.

Looking wearily up from the piano, he reaches silently for his drink.

Standing in front of him, a mysterious woman asks him to play a song. It’s a song he’d written long ago—for a girl he’d once loved.

He buried both the girl and the song long ago. And then vowed never to speak of either again.

Now… she was here again. Standing right in front of him.

Either her, or the angel of death.

Or maybe—something else entirely...

FIRST CITIZEN (Book Three)

He tried to expose the lies... Instead, he paved the way for the rise of a dictator.

With his life falling apart, a failed writer lashes out at the politicians he holds responsible.

He pens a bitter, fake guide for aspiring dictators—a how-to roadmap to seizing power.

In a jail cell half a continent away, a failed, small-time party leader reads a smuggled copy—and begins to apply its lessons, one by one

A SIMPLE SOLUTION (Book Four)

A desperate priest creates an entire sea of holy water.

Now both are missing...

When the holy water in an aging Mission turns bad, killing a child, a priest sets off to solve the problem once and for all.

In a frenzied burst of mania and despair, he prays, turning the ocean into holy water.

t’s a simple solution… until this new holy water starts to wash out to sea.

Because… holy water and evil cannot co-exist.

As the holy water recedes, it begins to repel any evil that lay in its path.

Pushed across the ocean, this evil is driven out of the sea, onto land—and into an unsuspecting world.

A rock star out of rehab and a mysterious woman nursing a gin and tonic... A stray priest in a hundred year old California Mission... An entire ship desperate to escape World War Two...

These are the...


Advance Praise

Not just sleight of hand and a twist in the end but thought-provoking tales to entertain and make you think.”

“Thoughtful, cleverly plotted and emotionally strong… I enjoyed this story very much; it is not a political one… It is a story mixing fact with fiction that ultimately brings hope and leaves a tear in one’s eye… a really good read.”

“Brilliant concept… Loving this series… another strange, almost other worldly story of one night… works on so many levels.”

“In this clever story the author takes all the tired cliché driven ideas of the gifted composer, the troubled artist and the self-destructing rock star and shows what music really is. Such a clever book…”

“A quite stimulating read that does reflect on the lessons we learn from history regarding the rise of National Socialism in Germany in the 1930s. That this is linked to this treatise produced by this fictional author is clever and poses the question about what can we learn from history and the rise of totalitarian rule.”

Not just sleight of hand and a twist in the end but thought-provoking tales to entertain and make you think.”

“Thoughtful, cleverly plotted and emotionally strong… I enjoyed this story very much; it...

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to preview Into The Night by Mark Tiro. I just finished Joe HIll's Full Throttle book, which is a book of short stories that have the supernatural/horror twist to some of the novellas. This prepared me for Tiro's book, and I was delightfully pleased because I usually don't go for the short story genre.
I liked all of the stories - some better than others - but all in all, this is good for quick reading and will defintely give the reader some food for thought.
4 stars - recommend.

Five short stories, five points of view involving a bit of science fiction, a bit of psychology and a bit of thriller, all slightly bizarre. Clever though, believable characters in odd settings at times. Good read before bed time but beware, you'll lie awake thinking things through for a while after reading them. Thanks to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for an advance copy in exchange for my honest review.

This was my first read from Mark Tiro and I am hooked! It is hard to review this particular collection without spoilers so I will simply tell you what i felt about Into the Night. These five short stories are thought-provoking, engulfing you in a world of historical fiction, time travel, the supernatural, tragedy, mystery, alternate history, and love. Each story leaves you pondering an array of notions, both realistic and surreal, regarding history, fate, heartbreak, loss, love, hope, consequences and much more. This collection of unique, stand-alone short stories comes together wonderfully and has something for everybody. I personally enjoyed each story, sometimes knowing, at the beginning, what lay ahead for me but others left the meaning/lesson/notion, however you refer to it, for the end making for an enthusiastic read leaving me wanting to reach the final pages and find out what lay beneath the narrative. Mark Tiro did a great job creating fictional adventures that i will be reading multiple times

Discovering “Into the Night” by Mark Tiro is like discovering a gem in your garden. When you start to rub it clean, you know it’s going to be something special and as you get through each layer, you slowly reveal the beauty until it’s shining bright in your hand.

The first story burrows a little into your heart.

The second one works its way to your mind.

The third engulfs and angers the intellect.

The fourth takes over your soul.

And the fifth brings it full circle and leaves you with the feeling that love will always conquer.

Each beautifully crafted story is an entertaining lesson combining love, hope, desperation and a message to strive to be a better humanity.

I loved it!

These stories are just crying out for a tv series! I would love to watch them.The stories themselves are engrossing and, as they are short stories, perfect for me. I hate the start and stopping of longer fiction works; just frustrating. These are perfect for commuting and fascinating to distract from surroundings (fellow passengers, outside traffic...) Fans of Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, Night Gallery, and similar shows, are going to enjoy reading these tales. I loved this book and know others who will also!
