Praise for NIGHT TERRORS…
“In Palumbo’s riveting third Daniel Rinaldi mystery (after 2011’s FEVER DREAM), answers prove elusive as the murders begin to pile up. Palumbo ratchets up the stakes in this psychological thriller, but maintains the emotional complexity…” –Publisher’s Weekly
“Palumbo’s thrillers are strictly for late at night and for readers who have no pressing engagements early the next day.” –Kirkus Reviews
“Palumbo, an award-winning Hollywood screenwriter turned psychotherapist, uses all his professional experience to craft short, action- and tension-filled chapters and insightful sketches of people traumatized by violence.” –BookList
“Authentic and fast-paced, NIGHT TERRORS is a thrilling plunge into the mind of an obsessed killer. This is something you don’t want to miss!” –Stephen Jay Schwartz (LA Times bestselling author, BOULEVARD and BEAT)
“Dennis Palumbo takes a brilliant premise and turns it into the kind of thriller most of us wish we could write. Thrills, surprises, and memorable characters. A terrific book.” –Timothy Hallinan (Edgar-nominated author of the Poke Rafferty and Junior Bender thrillers)
“A brilliant, gripping emotional journey, full of the great characters and satisfying, unexpected turns we’ve come to expect from author/shrink Dennis Palumbo.” –Thomas B. Sawyer (author of the best-selling thrillers THE SIXTEENTH MAN and NO PLACE TO RUN)

“Another terrific ride from Dennis Palumbo’s Daniel Rinaldi series. A page turner of the first order.” –Bobby Moresco (Oscar-winning writer/producer of Crash and Million Dollar Baby)
“Don’t miss NIGHT TERRORS. It’s his best yet.” –Thomas Perry, Edgar-winning and NY Times best-selling author
“From the discovery of a truncated corpse in a deserted West Virginia farmhouse in the dead of winter to a breathless shoot-out in an abandoned Pennsylvania steel mill, the suspense never lets up.” –Dick Lochte, L.A. Times best-selling author (SLEEPING DOG, BLUES IN THE NIGHT)

Saw you on Barry Kibrick Between The Lines and really enjoyed learning about you and your Psychology Today column, and was hoping to be able to follow your writings there and elsewhere either on Facebook and/or twitter, etc, but couldn’t find your writings those places yet, so reaching out to you via your website here 🙂
Thanks so much for your help with getting better acquainted with your column et.al.
I’m also a psychotherapist, writer, and medical intuitive, by and by…
Be well, Taylor Stokes
I saw your impressive interview with Barry Kibrick and thought you might be able to give me some information. I am a former resident of Pittsburgh where I went to a psychiatrist who is now dead. I am old myself now, living in California, and would like to read the notes that this doctor made of me. I sent a letter to him and his wife; it was returned. They are both now dead.
Would you be able to give me information or help me find out how I could get these records now since they’d not be helpful to anyone but me. Thanks.
