  Buried Alive Stories - Stories...

  Deep within us is the dread of dying of moving on from life to another state of being.  We assume it comes about through accident, perhaps even murder or disease that can be sudden or can take years to pull us into oblivion.  But perhaps trumping all of these is the fear of being buried alive.  The sheer terror of being totally trapped, unable to summon help and escape, fills one and all with a deeply unique terror. 
   
  In this volume such icons as Edgar Allan Poe, Ambrose Bierce and Honoré de Balzac take us on a journey that will do our helpless fear of this no good at all.

  'Once again, Michael Wood, the master of horror and suspense, has written a book that put me through the wringer with its taut, horrifying, dark and devious storyline.’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 
  From the dark mind behind the DCI Matilda Darke series, comes the next novel in a gripping new series. Dr Olivia Winter is back. And she’s got a brand new case to solve.  
  A BRUTAL MURDER 
  When Isaac McFadden is found with the dismembered body of a young man in the boot of his car, it’s an easy conviction for the jury. But, then a notebook is discovered in Isaac’s house, and the police believe they have a serial killer on their hands. 
  A CRYPTIC CODE 
  Within the pages of the notebook is a chart written in a code, which DI Linus Sutton believes holds the location of more bodies. Made up of seemingly random words, numbers and symbols, and with a suspect who is refusing to talk, Sutton enlists the help of Forensic Psychologist Dr Olivia Winter. 
  THE FINAL GIRL 
  Having previously survived attacks from two killers, Olivia is the real life ‘final girl’. But can she unlock the code before her luck runs out?Praise for The Devil’s Code

  'As you are reading it, you think you have it solved but you couldn’t be more wrong.’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 
  'I didn’t think he could better the Matilda Darke series which I love but I think Michael Wood might have hit the jackpot again with this one.’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
