Idiopathic Condition Red

223 pages. Short story collection. Paperback. £6.50.

15-story cauldron of crime, horror, dark fantasy, warped SF and the downright bizarre. It features body art in Guatemala, urban degeneracy, infatuated cops in Bangladesh, an alien brothel, carnivorous seduction, a very weird stranger in a local pub, 17th Century Portuguese lost in a full moon rave, a torturer's descent into Hell, and a cyber-inspired apocalypse from Goa. And then there are the other six..... It also features two collaborations with Des Lewis and Alexander Johnson.

'Inoffensive' most definitely isn't the word - not for the weak of stomach - SFX Magazine

A cocktail of stunning prose, driving narrative and unflinching vision........another landmark collection - The Alien Online

There are several gems I would have loved to have written. You can't give higher praise than that - Noel Hannan, Terror Tales

The Pariah

278 pages. Novel. Paperback. £6.00

Manipulation. Murder. Abduction. Betrayal. Revenge. From isolated village life to the sly sprawl of London, from the corridors of power into the very fabric of the mind, stalks a deadly new menace - Paymer - a ruthless psychotic who can infiltrate thoughts and change behaviour, and who wants to turn the country into a savage playground.

Once started, you won't put it down - HorrorNet USA

One of the most gripping horror novels for a long time - Terror Tales Online

A fine, imaginative and accessible thriller. Highly recommended - Infinity Plus

Dark ripped-to-the-bone writing that will leave the reader gasping for more - RLK, Australia

4/5 - Kept taut by the driving need for Paymer to be hunted down and the seeming impossibility of doing it - SFX Magazine

Gripping, taking the reader deep into the mind of one of the most sinister and frightening characters imaginable - TT Reviews

The Horizontal Split

171 pages. Novel. Paperback. £5.50

A kaleidoscopic thriller in which, pursued by various oddballs and navigating strange and deadly environs which mirror her own fractured personality, young schizophrenic Sarah searches India for her abducted baby. From the tricksters in Delhi's claustrophobic markets to the nightmare spiral of Calcutta, via the Ganges death rituals of Varanasi, Sarah attempts to stay one step ahead of those on her trail who want her either dead and buried, or saved for a life of chemical dependency.

Awesome - HorrorNet USA
