The John Persons Files

Experience bestselling author Cassandra Khaw's hard-boiled, Lovecraftian horror series, Persons Non Grata, in one volume, containing the novellas Hammers on Bone and A Song for Quiet, and a brand-new story, 'You Were Always Mine'.

John Persons is a private investigator-a good one. Over the course of his ancient, arcane existence, he's hunted gods and demons, and broken them in his teeth. He's also a monster, which makes him perfect for the darkest, most dangerous jobs.

Deacon James is a rambling bluesman straight from Georgia - a Black man with troubles he can't escape and music that won't let him go. When he crosses paths with John Persons, he thinks the PI is a madman. But this weird, monstrous investigator may be the only person who can help him.

Enter a world of frightening, eldritch delights, where danger lurks in every corner and monsters sometimes wear familiar faces.
