  Here there be gods and monsters—forged from flesh and stone and vengeance—emerging from the icy abyss of deep space, ascending from dark oceans, and prowling strange cities to enter worlds of chaos and wonder, where scientific rigor and human endeavor is tested to the limits. These are cosmic realms and watery domains where old offerings no longer appease the ancient Gods or the new and hungry idols. Deities and beasts. Life and death. Love and hate. Science and magic. And smiling monsters in human skin. 
   
   
   
  Premee Mohamed's debut collection of contemporary cosmic horror and dark fantasy heralds the arrival of a new and vibrant voice on the cutting edge of modern speculative fiction.

  The London Fae - Dark Tales in...

  London's older inhabitants are still there, but the luckiest people never see them.  
   
  For those who do notice, they keep a bookshop in Bloomsbury that's only there sometimes. They run a frost fair on the frozen Thames. They live in the cellar of a Wapping pub and in the soot-filled flues of a Blackheath Victorian terrace and in the dark water under the Regent's Canal. 
   
  It's fair to say that they take an interest in the living — in writers who have run out of ideas, journalists who have run out of stories, publicans who want a little more than the brewery can offer, couples whose compassion isn't what it seems. And they are entirely, by nature, unmoved by human suffering. 
   
  The London Fae is a novel in stories — a mythopoetic portrait of a city haunted not by the benign and whimsical but by forces that are ancient, exacting, and without mercy. The bargains in these stories are real. The blood debts accrue. The reckonings, when they come, are calibrated precisely to the particular way each person chose not to be honest with themselves. 
   
  Spindledrift Goodfellow keeps his books. Jenny Greenteeth keeps her canal. Ned Ludd haunts the underground railway. Queen Mab keeps her theatre of forgetting, and does not care in the least what the tickets cost her audience. 
   
  Only at the city's stone heart does something stranger and more ambiguous stir — something that, for those paying attention, might bring something closer to hope. 
   
  Dark, funny, and rooted in genuine scholarship, The London Fae asks what it would mean to live in a city where we still owe the old ones their due, and whether any of us are honest enough to settle our account.

  They arrive alive. They always leave dead. 
   But first, they give me their confessions. 
  My name is Jack Steen, and for those who arrive on my 'death' ward at the Asylum, I'm the last face many will see before they die. I am the night nurse at an Asylum for the Criminally Insane, and most of my patients know me as their Angel of Death. I know them as mass murderers, rapists, and serial killers - among other things. 
  Here's what happens: they come on my floor, they give me their deathbed confession, and I help to make their death less painful. There's a catch, though: I want the real story, the one they haven't told anyone else. 
  The majority of these killers are expert manipulators. They could be playing their final game with me by messing with my head. 
  Now, maybe they're messing with yours too. 
  Inside this book are 4 confessions that relate to marriage and murder (and how they go hand in hand):THE PREACHER has quite the past.BETH shouldn’t be trusted.WILSON is a farmer with buried secrets.SAM has a thing for soil and gardens. 
  WARNING: There is swearing in this book. And some stories might be a trigger for something you have a hard time handling. But, these are the confessions of serial killers, mass murderers, and such, so what do you expect?

  Jerry Pardoe and Jamila Patel investigate an eerie string of murders featuring missing feet and disembodied heads in the chilling horror from Graham Masterton. 
   
  A SEVERED HEAD 
   
  After a South London man is shot and killed at home, his wife swears that the offender had no feet. Even stranger, when a teacher is murdered at a local school, her pupils insist they saw disembodied feet dangling from their classroom ceiling. All across the country, victims claim the assailant was missing a body part, while others stumble upon the severed appendages. 
   
  A SUPERNATURAL CASE 
   
  It's clear these murders are neither straightforward nor easily explained, which means there are only two people fit to investigate: DS Jamila Patel and DC Jerry Pardoe, who are used to tracking spirits intent on causing mayhem. 
   
  A BLOODY HISTORY 
   
  And when two children go missing – finding themselves lost in another time period altogether – the investigation will lead to the discovery of a violent entity. One who has been killing for much longer than anyone first realised... And has no plans to stop.
