In the stunning conclusion to the five-volume saga, our dark god faces utter annihilation. Though Tenebroum has conquered vast stretches of the world, devouring armies and slaying gods, it is dying. While neither Siddrim nor the All-Father could manage to injure it, Tenebroum has just inflicted a mortal wound on itself, shattering its tainted phylactery to escape the Worm’s grip. Now, hunted and fading, Tenebroum must defy fate, overcome its own impending demise, and finally win the decades-long war of conquest that it began so long ago. It must rise from the ashes of its own immolation and forge itself anew lest its lair become its own grave instead of humanity’s. Will it succeed? Will the Lord of Darkness find a way to make the other remaining gods tremble as it finishes its long, bloody road to ultimate power?Show book

The world has been taken over by zombies. Small pockets of humanity remain. Cities lay in ruins. But none of this can stop Jake Trundle from solving the biggest case of his career because Jake Trundle is also a zombie. And somewhere deep within the recesses of his long dead brain flicker the embers of the last case he was working before the world turned to hell. And now he is compelled to solve it for all eternity, or at least until New Orleans falls down around his ears. He doesn't know why, he doesn't know how and he doesn't know much of anything when the smell of fresh meat is on the wind. But he's going to solve this case anyway. Even if it kills him all over again. Jake Trundle is a zombie. But he was a detective first. And nothing can take that away from him. Not even death. »One of the few writers to make me laugh out loud.« – David Baddiel, Comedian »One of Britain's best kept literary secrets.« – The Big Issue in the NorthShow book
Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart. A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author? The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme. Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made. If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. In this volume our authors present tales of dark, macabre, and disturbing deeds. From the pens of Rudyard Kipling, M R James, Marjorie Bowen, Algernon Blackwood and others many others come carefully crafted literary journeys designed to disrupt reality, jangle nerves and feed upon our souls. 1 - The Top 10 Short Stories - English Gothic - An Introduction 2 - The Signalman by Charles Dickens 3 - The Phantom Rickshaw by Rudyard Kipling 4 - The Music on the Hill by Saki 5 - In the Dark by Edith Nesbit 6 - The Monkey's Paw by W W Jacobs 7 - The Empty House by Algernon Blackwood 8 - Count Magnus by M R James 9 - Mrs Amworth by E F Benson 10 - Thurnley Abbey by Perceval Landon 11 - The Bishop of Hell by Marjorie BowenShow book

An author’s talents may seem obvious and indisputable as they move words and ideas into gathered phrases and stories. But where do these ideas and stories come from? A lonely thought that suddenly gathers form? An inspiration from a Muse? A suggestion from an everyday event? Perhaps in the case of their darker, more malevolent stories, other forces are at work. They help to nourish single words into sentences and paragraphs that ease themselves from the shadows and are suddenly upon us in twisted revelation that may thrill, may disturb, but will always engage and help us explore the edge of darkness where some of the very best literature patiently lurks …. waiting …. for the likes of me and you.Show book
