Publisher's summary

A collection of strange tales for those who like horror, the supernatural, and science fiction. These six short stories explore some classic themes in contemporary settings. All have a dark vibe which creates the overall tone of the collection.

The book opens with "The Sable Lane Catering Company" which puts blood, gore, and terror immediately on the menu with a snapshot of a serial killer serving up something special for his sadistic clientele.

Next up is a pure 80s horror homage, with "John: Carpenter" giving a direct nod to the movie director's catalog of work.

"Skullcherry Orchard" sees a paranormal investigation take a turn for the worst in rural North West England. It's a traditional ghost story given a contemporary flavor.

Story number four is rooted in the occult practices of the Nazi regime circa WWII and proves a terrifying and tragic turn of events for those who want to know just "What's In The Box?"

No book of dark tales could be complete without a reworking of the time-honored vampire saga, and "Mother Rain and Father Wolf" does just that. Presented as a warning to those who would meddle in the truth which lies behind a mythology, it chronicles age-old revenge on the Church.

Lastly, "Floor 9" is a sci-fi piece which is quite simply designed to mess with your head. It has a split narrative and is a tad on the trippy side, and hopefully just good fun.

If you purchase and enjoy this book of shorts, then please consider my full-length novels: The Jesus Man and Nexilexicon.

"Incredible"

This is a fantastic horror book. From start to finish there isn't a dull or boring moment throughout the book. Story is excellent and narration is Epic. This is an all-around great book to listen to. I wasn't disappointed at all.
