HEARTFELT HORRORS

Nine Short Stories

From the author of Things Not Made, a collection of nine short horror stories of loss, loneliness and isolation. A man finds an old shoe box in his garden. Inside, a doll-sized corpse. A huge creature manifests at the end of Elbow Street but only Timothy Cleg can see it. In the trenches of World War I, a lone infantryman encounters the end of innocence. As her contract comes to an end, an office temp begins to lose first her senses then her mind.

These and five more tales of terror will make your flesh crawl and your heart break. “… a jagged and chilling tale.” Tangent Online on Today is Not. “… one of those stories that gets more chilling as it goes on.” SFRevu on Today is Not. “… a very taut and very well-written suspense piece… a reflection on what makes us real. Recommended.” Tangent Online on Written in Water. “… recalls the tone and feel of many of the most vivid pieces written about World War I.” Tangent Online on Everything but Wretchedness Forgotten.

Trigger warning: contains references to child bereavement.
