They may be on the cusp of adulthood, but there’s still enough of the youngster left in each of them to recognize the work of an evil supernatural unique to these deserts of slag heap and coal tip....

Like many visionary artists throughout time from Vincent van Gogh to Baudelaire, H.P. Lovecraft did not get the credit he was due when he was alive for his special kind of genius. Dying poor and alone, he may at first appear to be yet another writer who never had a chance to fully blossom. However, with his writing the opposite is true- Instead of vanishing from the popular collective unconscious, Lovecraft even in death accrues more followers each passing year. From musicians to writers, to philosophers, academics, and sculptors, Lovecraft’s footprint only becomes more defined as time ...

Joe O'Hara is having a bad morning, and it's just about to get worse. A random road traffic accident sends him on the path to addiction. Crack is the only thing that can give him any relief from his living hell - but it's a far cry from the crack you might think it is.

Across a shattered American landscape—from the electric pulse of New York to the rusted alleys of Detroit and the wind-battered streets of Chicago—the boundaries between hero and villain have long since blurred. In these cities on the edge, a ragtag band of pulp heroes, relentless detectives, tenacious private investigators, and uncompromising vigilantes collide with a ruthless underworld of mobsters, deranged serial killers, and wildly unpredictable madmen. When a series of brutal ...

Anglesey became a refuge for survivors from across the world, but living in the shadow of a decrepit nuclear power station was always a precarious existence. There is only one destination for their final exodus from Britain, but Belfast won't become their new home. There are fewer undead on the island of Ireland, but they still number in the millions. With farming impossible, with the weather worsening, with ammunition exhausted, desperation turns to despair. All seems bleak, but the survivors are unaware how desperate their situation truly is.

TerrorVision is a unique blend of horror and science fiction which pays homage to some of the best movies and franchises cinematic and televisual horror history. During the course of my writing career, I have been fortunate to have worked on franchises such as The Terminator, Doctor Who, Dracula, Hellraiser and my own creations. With this in mind I believe that I can say with some authority that each of the stories present in this anthology will take you on a wild ride. The genesis of this book came from the current trend to write narratives inspired by cinema. Expanding upon the universes ...

This collection of Lovecraft tales was assembled in honour of the antiquarian, Randolph Carter. His story is one of horror, dreams and nightmarish encounters in dimensions beyond reality.

When a beautiful woman approaches Emmet asking for no strings-attached fun, he thinks he's finally hit the jackpot. He's not about to let a little thing like her claiming to be a witch get between them, whatever kind of spell she thinks she's going to cast with his "pent up sexual energy". Mary knows Emmet doesn't believe her, but she doesn't care. He's the perfect specimen for her ritual, just bursting with sexual energy. What she doesn't know is that Emmet isn't only pent up - he's a virgin. And when the spell grows out of control and escapes, it's up to them to go track it down.

Spring has come early to Nova Scotia, bringing new hope. For the 13,000 survivors who’ve found sanctuary in northern Canada, and for the first time since the apocalypse, extinction isn’t imminent.

In the small Connecticut town of Wilshire, James Corbett, senior member of a local outlaw family, has been hideously murdered. For Ellen Wilder, new editor and owner of the local newspaper, the gruesome killing is as disturbing as the irrational fears it has triggered within her. She is left doubting for her own sanity. For State Police Detective Michael Chandler, the murder is only a hint of trouble to come... and an eerie echo of his own near-death experience.

The story describes time and space travel by mind transfer. The premise is that a person in a given place and time can switch bodies with someone who is elsewhere or elsewhen. Other writers have re-used this concept in later works, such as drinking tea from Red Forest leaves in the television series 12 Monkeys and long-range communication stones in the Stargate SG-1 television series. As with other Lovecraftian works, this story features otherworldy alien beings that are not simply variations on humans or other familiar terrestrial animals.
