Read the first chapter of The Night Visitor written by Nathan Larson.
Nathan Larson is a filmcomposer, producer, writer, rocker and very good friend of mine. He just published his second novel The Nervous System, the second part in a series of three.
Inspired by my music and polaroids he has written a short story that will leave you sleepless on dark November nights. It will be published chapter by chapter on my website through out the fall.
