If a novel is a long and torrid love affair, full of ups and downs and highs and lows, then a short story is merely a kiss from a stranger in the dark - a fleetingly intense experience that grips the heart, ignites the blood and lingers in the memory.

This collection of darkly disturbing tales will suck you into the weird and wonderful world of the author's imagination, populated by vengeful witches, ravenous zombies, serial killers, alien monsters, bloodthirsty androids and even a man who feeds on dreams.

Enter at your peril!
