  From hi-tech spying in suburbia, to a giant feather found in the country, to a new drug that is so powerful that it can make you forget about having cancer, a transient way down on his luck finds hope and his intent to give this new found hope to others, whether they are willing or not. A man who laughs and smiles in his sleep makes his wife question his morality, a bored hunter tries out his new rifle, an old college buddy wants to learn the secret of a trick, a high security lab finds out that someone is trying to tunnel under their facility, a mans new phone/camera can capture ghosts? A psychiatrist can hear the voices of his patient, a little stone statue seeks worshipers, a lumberjack finds an electrode in the ground, and a vacationing American couple can quite suddenly speak French quite fluently!

  We all have deep-seated fears: monsters, the unknown, death. My Dreadful Dreams: 13 Tales of Terror brings these and other horrors to life in unsettling worlds where average people overcome—or succumb to—their darkest dreams: 
  A child accidentally summons a demon, which is then soul-bound to protect her for life; a frightened woman fleeing her abuser finds shelter at an unusual motel; the voice of God speaks to a devout teenager for the first time—but what He asks of her isn’t what she expected; a man longing for affection, and more than a casual friendship, meets a shy boy. These grim, disturbing, and dangerously grotesque short stories—and more—await you. 
  Reader beware: your dreams may be dreadful tonight.

  Campbell gives voice to the extraordinary (never ordinary) men and women of Manchester. He goes beyond the King's English and formulaic approaches to short stories to capture, in print, how people really talk. Think James Kelman, Irvine Welsh, but Mancunian. Funny and heartfelt, this book is a romp to whizz through with pleasure. Forget mad for it Madchester, this is the Manchester of now, where Hacienda clichés turn into corporate nightmares and the only art is in marketing.

  Louisa Baldwin - A Short Story...

  Louisa MacDonald was born in 1845, one of eleven children of part Scottish descent.  Together with three of her sisters they were known as the ‘MacDonald sisters’ primarily because of their marriages to well-known men.   
   
  In 1866 she married the wealthy industrialist Alfred Baldwin in a double wedding with her sister Anne.   
   
  After giving birth to Stanley on the 3rd August 1867, who would go on to become Prime Minister, she drifted into an unhappy life in her then residence in Worcestershire.  She had at least one miscarriage and days alone depressed and in darkness. 
   
  During the 1870’s the couple travelled to find a lasting cure and tried a variety of treatments which led to her recovery in 1883.  She now became a leading figure in her local village of Wilden, near Stourbridge. 
   
  Her writing career of novels, short stories and poetry is often overlooked, as was the case with so many women, yet her works reveal many talents and a gift for melding odd and weird circumstances into seemingly everyday life.   
   
  Louisa Baldwin died in 1925.
