Take a step onto a road that leads to darkness and despair and lurid dreams...
A stunning anthology of five original horror novelettes from five of the very best writers in the UK independent/small press: Paul Finch, Stuart Young, Mark West, Simon Bestwick and Gary McMahon.
With an introduction from the critically-acclaimed and award winning Mark Morris, and story-notes from each author, this collection is a nigh-on perfect example of writing talent that awaits you, from the grounded realism of Finch and West, to the wierd-fantasy of Young, and the quintessentially supernatural tales of Bestwick and McMahon.
