They Lurk

COME CLOSER…

Five terrifying collected horror novellas newly reissued from the “modern-day Algernon Blackwood”.

Skullbelly

A private detective is hired after three teenagers disappear in a forest and uncovers a terrible local secret.

The Separation

Marcus arrives in Germany to find his friend, up-and-coming prizefighter Charlie, in a deep depression. But soon Charlie's behaviour grows increasingly bizarre. Is he suffering from a nervous breakdown, or are otherworldly forces at work?

The Stranger

Set in a rural Florida parking lot, David returns to his car to find a stranger sitting behind the wheel. The doors are locked and there’s a gun on the dashboard. And that was when the insanity started…

After the Fade

A girl walked into a small Annapolis tavern, collapsed, and died. Something had latched itself to the base of her skull. And it didn't arrive alone.

Now, the patrons of The Fulcrum are trapped, held prisoner within the tavern's walls by monstrous things, trying to find their way in.

Fierce

A teenage girl and her mum are in a car accident with another vehicle on a remote country road in the middle of a nightmarish snowstorm, which soon devolves into gruesome madness.
