Laird Barron's acclaimed crime saga makes a triumphant return in The Wind Began to Howl, an all-new story set after the events of Worse Angels. A seemingly benign case gradually pulls mob enforcer-turned-PI Isaiah Coleridge into a chilling mix of music, movie magic, mayhem, and madness.



This time, Coleridge's dark journey forces him to confront a brutal truth: For some who try to escape the past, there is no way out.



'Hardboiled and trippy at the same time, The Wind Began to Howl by Laird Barron is a twisted ride through the darker recesses of the mind complete with conspiracy theories, ex-government operatives, movie madness, and possibly a portal into another dimension.' —Alma Katsu, author of The Fervor



'Isaiah Coleridge hits back hard in this bare-knuckle novella that's equal parts Hollyweird fiction and conspiracy-laden Catskills noir.' —Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Ghost Eaters
