the true home of british horror

PEEL BACK THE SKY
by STEPHEN BACON

NEW BLOOD 01

The shop mannequins that appear to have a life of their own . . .the monstrous insect that consumes men's thoughts . . . the shadowy organisation that wreaks terror to the public . . . the overgrown garden blighted by a centuries-old curse . . .

These 21 tales map the darkest recesses of our minds. They document the madness and cruelty that exists in the places we do not wish to visit.

The powerful first collection by Stephen Bacon
Number 1 in Gray Friar Press's NEW BLOOD series.
