Sinopse

'A beautifully told and deeply troubling story that confirms Devlin's place at the forefront of Weird fiction.'

– Ginger Nuts of Horror

Rob is a Crescent kid. Born and raised in the sheltered circle of grey semis, built to house the employees of The City Works and their families. Under the eye of the reclusive Mr Olhouser, the residents of The Crescent go about their work, their lessons and their law, accompanied by the never-ending sound of The Works machinery deep under the ground. When Lee Wrexler moves into The Crescent, he brings with him something dangerous from the outside. Not just a reputation for trouble, but an outside perspective that will show Rob that the home he always thought he had a measure of is a stranger and far more unsettling place than he could have imagined… Malcolm Devlin's Engines Beneath Us is a powerful and unsettling novella of how the individual spirit is crushed by the pressure to conform, from a contemporary master of weird fiction.

    Haunting Infinity - A Short Story

    In a remote mountain village, debt-collector Durwood finds himself troubled by conflicting memories when he is tasked with claiming the old windmill property of the mysteriously vanished professor Rohr. This is a short story about certain kinds of 'ghosts', and the unsettling ways in which they can play a strange part in our past and future. 
    The story was written back in 2004 but never published. Now, twenty years later, it has been dusted off and polished to coincide with the release of S.M. Thygesen's new novel 'Burning Bright'. 'Haunting Infinity' is a distinct story, set in the 1950'ies, many years before the events of 'Burning Bright', but there is a connection in terms of the origin of some tech and a founding character, who will also be making a brief appearance at the end of the new novel.

    Salem, Massachusetts, B&B owner Charlene Morris will need the luck of the Irish—and the help of a ghost—to unveil a hooded killer . . . 
     
     
     
    Charlene has hired a van to ferry her B&B guests to an all-you-can-eat corned beef and cabbage dinner hosted by Salem's Irish community at the Ancient Order of Hibernians club—but she should have booked a hearse. It's never a good sign when the family black sheep drunkenly crashes a party by punching the guy dressed as a leprechaun. But things go from troublesome to fatal when Charlene stumbles upon a second brawl in an upper room—and this fight Connor Gallagher loses, his anonymous assailant rushing past Charlene, hidden by a hoodie. 
     
     
      
    Now Detective Sam Holden has another homicide on his hands, with Charlene as the only eyewitness. Even if she can't give the police sketch artist much to go on, Charlene is determined to ID the murderer, with the help of Dr. Jack Strathmore, the charming ghost who haunts her B&B. The answer lies in the motive, and to uncover that sleuth and spook will need to shine a light on Connor's shady past—before the killer pulls another Irish goodbye . . .

    A young couple, Peter and Marcia decide to spend a weekend in the country. They find an isolated beach on a deserted stretch of the Australian coastline and set up their campsite for the weekend. 
    Suddenly, strange incidents begin to happen as they are attacked by the wildlife. The strange incidents gradually escalate—and so does the terror. Both Peter and Marcia get lost in the bush and discover the animals blocking their path. It becomes apparent that the animals are herding them, and they have no choice but to go—but where? 
    For the first time, this classic Aussie Thriller is masterfully expanded into a tense novelization by award-winning author Brett McBean.
