Five Fierce Fictions:

'Homunculus' by Remy Dean...

A psychological drama laced with brooding bio-tech threat, Homunculus takes us into a near future – or perhaps alternative present – where wars can be fought by virtual warriors in digital landscapes, or by resurrected soldiers on the scorched battlefields of consensus reality. In this strange, overlapping of worlds, one man is exposed to secret technologies that begin to blur the line between his inner self and his virtual identities, or so he thinks…

'Portrait Of A Young Woman' by Carole Carmen...

A poetic evocation of Renaissance Venice with all the Gothic romance that should be expected, Portrait Of A Young Woman is a tale of murder and mystery where something monstrous lurks just beneath the surface… sea beasts, deranged murders, dark conspiracies… or are the real monsters those from within – human weaknesses such as suspicion, jealousy, lust and mistrust?

'Neron Caesar 666' by Mark Mellon...

Written with pace and ceaseless energy from the first paragraph to the last line, Neron Caesar 666 is a dark and feverish foray into ancient delirium. Heroic fantasy at its action-led best, packed with authentic detail, yet not swamped or slowed by it. The story blasts through oppressive darkness with a fiery fury that plunges us into a nightmare version of ancient Rome, now populated with all the mythical demons of Hades, where it has become the lot of one hero to save everything, or else consign his world to hideous oblivion.

'A Little Bit Of Fun' by Kim Vertue...

Seasonal magic and the magic of place are explored in A Little Bit Of Fun where a modern urban setting becomes the arena for an ancient power to exact vengeance on those who would violate the weak and desecrate the temple of mother nature… Life’s not always ‘a stroll in the park’.

'Skeleton Boys' by Henry Brooks...

When do we know we have reached the point of no return? Where does life end and death begin? Where are the boundaries between faith and science? Can life be measured by a rhythmic blip on a screen? Can death be defined as the absence of a soul? Heavy questions pondered with dark humour in Skeleton Boys, a hard-hitting contemporary psychological horror to sign off this first edition of SUTEKH’s GIFT...
