Deep in the dirty sewers of London there is a Breeding Ground... The slugs have come hack... slowly... silently... they slither along dank, fetid tunnels into the city in search of human flesh. Their insatiable need knows no bounds. But now they bring a new horror - a plague which spreads insanity and death, transforming its victims into grotesque, crazed killers. Caught in this maelstrom of horror is Dr. Alan Finch - the only man capable of destroying the Breeding Ground forever.

Nemesis

Si l'inspecteur Harry avait grandi dans la banlieue de Liverpool, il se serait appelé David Birch et aurait été confronté à la plus effrayante affaire de sa carrière...Megan Hunter, écrivain de renom au charme sulfureux, entame une tournée de dédicaces pour sa nouvelle biographie, consacrée à Giacomo Cassano, mentor méconnu de Dante. Mais le retentissement de son livre n'est pas celui qu'elle espérait : son éditeur est retrouvé mort, affreusement mutilé. Les seuls indices sont les restes en lambeaux de son livre et du dernier roman de l'écrivain d'horreur John Paxton.Pourtant rien ne relie ces deux auteurs. Si ce n'est un nouveau meurtre. Puis un autre, plus effroyable encore. David Birch, vieux routier de New Scotland Yard qui pensait avoir tout vu, n'est pas au bout de ses surprises. Pour mener son enquête, il devra déterrer de noirs secrets, car Cassano croyait en des choses si intolérables que l'Église lui fit crever les yeux et trancher la langue afin qu'il se taise à jamais...

Lettres mortes

".She glanced out over the churning waves, thinking how dark and forbidding the sea looked tonight.  She could hear it lashing against the pier and, more than once, she fancied she felt the structure beneath her move slightly.  She reached down slowly and unzipped the holdall.  Inside there were towels and pieces of rag.  Inside those was a baby. 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.
