  Sara's on the run and she's found the perfect place to hide... 
  The Crowlands is the incredible new novel from rising horror star T M Creedy! 
  Sara Robinson—gambling addict, liar, thief—lived a hand-to-mouth existence in a dingy flat in London. Now she's running for her life after the chance to make some easy money goes horribly wrong. She has three things which might save her—a passport in someone else’s name, a ticket to Australia and a suitcase full of cash. Sara finds herself the custodian of a crumbling Victorian mansion known as Crowlands House, once a children’s home in the rural town of Ararat. At first, the airy property seems cool and welcoming in the harsh Australian sunlight. It’s a private haven where Sara can forget about what happened in London. But there are things in the house that aren't quite right. And Sara can't ignore them forever.

  Brain surgeon and unlikely war hero, Ryan Brenan, has it all. A booming practice, a beautiful home in an idyllic setting, and a happy loving family. Then, the apparitions begin.
  
  Subtle at first, but soon there's no doubt about it, he's seeing ghosts, spirits, the undead. Of course, he could just be going nuts, cracking under the pressure of his constant exposure to death, mayhem, and tragedy. But, he believes he has proof that the ghosts are very real, and that they are specifically haunting him.
  
  We join Ryan as he tends to the sick and injured in his hospitals' trauma bays, intensive care units, and operating rooms, all the while seeking to understand why he has become a target of the dead. Will he break down? Will he lose all that is precious to him? Will he be drawn to the other side of the great divide?
  
  The unique storyline, similar to the works of Blake Crouch and Jeff VanderMeer is a chilling thrill ride, straddling the real world and that of the paranormal.
  
  This riveting psychological thriller uniquely blends a detailed peek behind the curtains of modern day neurosurgery with a fantastical journey into the paranormal. Written by a highly experienced neurosurgeon who takes the reader on an immersive journey into the behind the scenes world of the operating room where few people have ever been.

  Top 10 Short Stories The -...

  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. 
   
  The word ‘Gothic’ may be teamed with romance but here it brings an immediate feeling of unease.  This unease, this disquiet, is sumptuously captured by ten masters of their art.

  The spectacular new audiobook from the best-selling author of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, ‘one of our greatest living authors,’ New York Magazine. 
  Piranesi lives in the House. Perhaps he always has. 
  In his notebooks, day after day, he makes a clear and careful record of its wonders: the labyrinth of halls, the thousands upon thousands of statues, the tides that thunder up staircases, the clouds that move in slow procession through the upper halls. On Tuesdays and Fridays Piranesi sees his friend, the Other. At other times he brings tributes of food to the Dead. But mostly, he is alone. 
  Messages begin to appear, scratched out in chalk on the pavements. There is someone new in the House. But who are they and what do they want? Are they a friend or do they bring destruction and madness as the Other claims? 
  Lost texts must be found, secrets must be uncovered. The world that Piranesi thought he knew is becoming strange and dangerous. 
  The beauty of the House is immeasurable; its kindness infinite.

  Sometimes, an anniversary means something. Sometimes, it's part of a deal that the dead make to come back. Tony Boldomero, upon hearing of "The Hatchet Man of Bullskin," decides that he has to investigate the grave of the folklore killer, a man who supposedly slit his wife's throat and hacked his own children to pieces before turning the weapon on himself. His girlfriend, Ashley, thinks the idea to be too foolish to entertain but helplessly goes along. Neither of them believe that the story could be true, that anyone could come back from the dead, that anything resembling a zombie rising could ever be possible. The zombie is very real and wields two mighty blades, ready to make short work of any who cross his path, to disassemble and scatter them to the four winds. No one can survive him once he has begun his destined hope. None can match him. Only time may tell if there be hindrance to withstand the force of The Hatchet Man.
