Summary
(From the publisher):
This latest volume from 'Britain's Prince of chill' contains twenty-one never-before-collected stories of horror, science fiction and the supernatural from the past four decades, including two brand-new tales published here for the first time.
In these masterful tales of horror and humour you will discover such macabre and menacing characters as a trio of weird sisters who refuse to let the dead rest in peace; a stranded couple who encounter the last of Cornwall's legendary giants; a murderous husband whose wife refuses to die; a young man who is haunted by his ghostly doppleganger; a woman who is pursued by a lonely phantom; a mad genius who creates a terrifying new form of life; a man tormented by both his dead wife and his new lover, and an isolated family who feed upon human flesh.
With an original foreword by best-selling X Files novelist Charles Grant and an afterword by the author himself, this is a book that is guaranteed to raise a shudder and a shive amongst the most hardened horror fan.
