Taking queues from the serials of old, Black uses the concept of serialized fiction to introduce readers to his work in his first novel, No Vacancies.
In Book 1, Black offers four different stories. One More Sunday follows Detective Sam Arkwright as he attempts to put together the missing pieces of a murder; the victim being one of the city’s renowned super heroes, The Protector. Black offers a taste of horror with his tales, Outcast and Devotion. Set in Black’s fictional city Hudson, NY, a serial killer is leaving behind mutilated bodies and the police are baffled. A mysterious man, named Nathaniel has followed the trail to Hudson, but is he there to help or is he simply an Outcast? In Devotion, Dr. Alastair Cromwell struggles to resurrect his late wife, Annette. Will he succeed and at what cost?
In part 1 of High Stakes, we are introduced to a louse of man named Jack Ander. Abused by his father; branded a coward. Is he destined to be a hero?

"Edge of your seat thrillers"
Lucien Blacks collection of short stories is entertaining to say the least. His story lines are fascinating and intense. He guides you down a path of visual adventure which I couldn't help but access my creative mind, drawing my own interpretation of the characters and the conflicts they faced from chapter to chapter.
These stories were originally penned for the comic book genre which actually helped a typical non-fiction reader like myself stay glued to it's pages.
Great stories...Great book...Waiting for more...
