Caught in this maelstrom of horror is Dr. Alan Finch - the only man capable of destroying the Breeding Ground forever.

Breeding Ground

Kelly, horrifiée, le regarda enfoncer les pointes métalliques de la fourchette jusqu'à la rétine. Il poussa un hurlement de douleur et parvint à s'arracher l'autre oeil qui glissa sur le sol. Grant, tombant à genoux, l'écrasa sous lui comme un grain de raisin.

Ombres effroyables

"Everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes, " said Andy Warhol. And fame is something certain people will go to any lengths to achieve: whether to be revered or reviled, the lure of notoriety is strong for those lacking it.

After Becky is safely returned by Adam Walker, Hailey finds her initial gratitude turning to something else. With her marriage close to ruins, she is tempted to begin an affair with this likeable newcomer. Besides, Hailey wants revenge against her husband and his mistress. And Walker seems willing - only too happy to please. But maybe he has his own agenda? As she wisely ends their budding relationship, Hailey begins to wonder if Walker could be behind the acts of vandalism committed against her home and family. Or is someone else seeking revenge, who she has not yet encountered? When petty harassment turns to open violence, Hailey finds herself caught in a spiralling vortex of suffering and death .

No older than six weeks, the child was crying softly and it continued to do so even when Polly picked it up and held it before her.  She swallowed hard and held the child higher, advancing again towards the wooden rail that surrounded the walkways of the pier.  The only thing that separated her from the sea.  She held the child over the rail for a second, its cries lost beneath the raging sound of the waves.          Polly dropped the baby..." There is something here for everyone.  Monsters in train tunnels.  Savage attack dogs loose in a luxury building.  Wishes made that can cripple and kill.  Children kidnapped to appease a monstrous entity from the sea.  A psychotic Virtual Assistant that turns a house into a chamber of horrors.  The terrifying aftermath of a robbery.  A horrifying 'game' designed to welcome new residents to a village.  A reminder that you should never, ever pick up hitchhikers.          These are just some of the stories you'll find in this collection.  All kinds of tales to send shivers down your spine.          Stories to be read with the lights on and the curtains drawn.          Go on.we dare you.

Incisions: Cut One - Incisions, #1

He was halfway up the stairs when he heard the banging on his front door.  John froze for a second, wondering who would be knocking his door at this late hour.  He turned and headed slowly down the stairs, moving right up to the front door, straining his ears to see if he could detect any sounds from beyond the partition. He was inches from it when there was more banging. John jumped back, his heart thudding harder now. He saw that the chain was on but he hesitated as he reached for the handle, finally opening the door a crack. There was no one on the doorstep.  He opened it a little further and peered out into the night, only the streetlamps offering any illumination.          John was about to duck back inside the house when something loomed at him from the side of the porch... More stories to haunt your dreams are presented here within these pages.  Tales of a neighbour with a terrible fear.  Of an artist who uses the most unusual objects to make his craft come alive.  Stories about strange beliefs and a desperate desire to know that there is something beyond death.  A couple lost in a forest discover what they think is salvation from their plight but much more besides.  Is a baby monitor as innocent as it appears?  What if it picks up more than the sound of a child?  A hitman hired to kill a recluse discovers that this is one deal he really shouldn't have taken on.  A woman afraid of Witchcraft finds she has good reason to fear a new arrival in her village.          These are just some of the stories within this volume.  Stories of revenge, terror, the unknown, creatures beyond belief.  Stories that will make you think, make you shudder but, above all, make you want to leave the light on after reading them...
