The Ghost Train

Mark L'Estrange

Summary

The hectic seaside town of Brompton-On-Sea sizzles in the summer heatwave. Holiday makers and locals alike find distraction and amusement on the pier, where the Cranville family have owned and run the fun fair for generations.
 
The rides on offer rival any of those offered by the biggest theme parks in the country, but at a far more reasonable cost. Pete Cranville, the senior member of the clan, assures that all his attractions offer their guests true value for money.
 
The Ghost Train is a particular favourite with visitors. Located on the very edge of the pier, it might seem a little out of the way, but it is still one of the fair’s most popular rides.
 
And for those who make it out alive, it truly is a marvellous experience.

Sabbath of the Fox-Devils

Sam Richard

After learning about the existence of a powerful grimoire through a cartoon, 12-year-old Joe is determined to find it and change his lot in life. But in doing so, he'll also uncover a local priest's dark secret and how it may be connected to Joe's brother abruptly leaving town five years ago.
Part homage to the small-creature horror films of the 80s (Ghoulies, Gremlins, The Gate) and part Splatterpunk take on a Goosebumps book, Sabbath of the Fox-Devils is a weird, diabolical coming-of-age horror story of self-liberation in an oppressive religious environment set during the Satanic Panic.

Prepare your soul to revel in the darkness.

"Light the black candles and invert the cross as Sam Richard conjures a coming-of-age story of Satanic panic, creature carnage, and blasphemous terror!" - Ryan Harding (Genital Grinder, Header 3)

"It's been said good writing comes from opening a vein and bleeding on the page. Anyone who’s read Sam Richard knows his writing epitomizes this visceral process. Sabbath of the Fox Devils, both a wistful love letter to schlocky horror and a sentimental character study, is no different. It's a confidently-written, refined novella without sacrificing the rawness which made Sam's previous works so memorable. Fans of 80s horror, Scooby Doo, and punk rock will find lots to love here." - Lucas Mangum (Saint Sadist, Gods of the Dark Web)

“Sabbath of the Fox-Devils is coming-of-age gone wrong, a celebration of the Satan-soaked stories that hooked us all on horror and a satire of the people who hate them. I bet my soul you’ll enjoy it as much as I did.” - Katy Michelle Quinn (Girl in the Walls, Winnie)
