“Busboom has a way with words. Nightbird exhumes the Lilith myth and animates it in a timeless present day where folklore and isolation drive a dysfunctional couple to the brink, and beyond. The language is confident, the people feel real, and the menace manages to be Potently sexy and utterly creepy in the same short book. Nice to see such a promising writer stretching out into longer, and more personal territory.”
–Nathan Carson author of Starr Creek
Sixteen-year-old Isaac just wanted to see a midnight movie. He didn't expect to meet the woman of his dreams: more beautiful, mature, and intelligent than any of Isaac's high-school crushes, and (best of all) willing to fulfill his fantasies! So what if she didn't have a computer, a phone, a car, or a job? So what if she shares an isolated farmhouse with a half-dozen insatiable, love-crazed people, all aching for her attention? She was ready and willing.
