  • Can a ghost haunt a ghost? Can the dead reach out and touch the living?  Can ancient evil be made manifest? These are the questions that confront psychic investigator David Ash when he delves into the mysterious events terrorising the community of Sleath, a small, quaint village hidden away in the Chiltern Hills. In Sleath he will fear for his own sanity, as each dark secret is unveiled and terrible, malign forces are unleashed. For the full horror will be beyond imagination. Sleath. Where the dead will walk the street...
  • The shadow of the past was always with him, but he never knew what it was, or when it would strike next. Sent to a small coastal town to investigate drug smuggling, Kelso stumbles on a dangerous organization, and suddenly more than just his life is at stake—it's his past, his future, and his sanity. Through torture and drugs he discovers the terrifying secret of the Jonah...and learns, in the most horrifying way, that it can destroy him as well as others.
  • We thought we’d found our haven, a cottage deep in the heart of the forest. Charming, maybe a little run down, but so peaceful. That was the first part of the Magic. Midge’s painting and my music soared to new heights of creativity. That was another part of the Magic. Our love for each other - well, that became the supreme Magic. But the cottage had an alternative side. The Bad Magic. What happened to us there was horrendous beyond belief. The miracles,  healings, the crazy sect who wanted our home for themselves, the hideous creatures that crawled from the nether regions, and the bats – oh God, the bats! Even now those terrible things seem impossible to me. Yet they happened...  
  • London is struck by an invasion. Women, children, old and young, none are safe from the deadly menace. The attacks are swift and sure, escape is impossible. A state of emergency is declared. Evacuation seems to be the only solution in the face of the growing panic and mounting death toll. For millions of years man and rats had been natural enemies. But this time, the enemy is a species of super rat - the mutant results of an atomic blast - and suddenly, shockingly, horribly... the balance of power had shifted and war is declared - the rats are public enemy number one... 
  • A triple treat of terror: The Rats: The natural competition between the industrious and intelligent rodent and Man is inevitable when they share an environment - but what would happen if a new, more dangerous and deadly rat was bred and then unleashed on the world? Fluke: What could happen if identity and personality were interchangeable?  Not between humans - but between man and dog? The Dark: People are capable of acts of scarcely imaginable cruelty and appalling depravity.  What would happen if that individual power, that personal desire, became a tangible force? And instead of seeming to exude an aura of evil, instead those who have committed evil continue to propagate their deeds after they have phsysically ceased to exist?
  • Would you stay in a haunted house for more than one night? Would you live in a place where ghostly things keep happening? Where a cellar door you know you locked the night before is always open the following morning? Where hushed whimpering is heard? Where white shadows steal through the darkness? Where the presence of evil is all around you? Would you? Should you? The Caleighs did, but they had their reasons. They should have known better though. As the terror mounts, they begin to regret their decision. As the horror rises, they realise their very lives are at risk... and so is their sanity. For the secret of Crickley Hall is beyond all nightmares...
  • It had been one of the worst crashes in airline history, with over 300 dead and only one survivor. Now the dead were buried and the town of Eton tried to forget. But Keller, the survivor, wanted to know what unseen forces had left him still alive. How had he walked from the flaming wreck, the only one to live? The tragedy left a lingering sense of evil and menace in the quiet countryside - and then strange events began to occur...A schoolboy is found decapitated on a railway track; a couple fall to their deaths from a bedroom window, but it seems the man has been dead for some time...Keller sets about retracing the events of the crash and the town is forced to face the dreadful truth about what was buried in the old graveyard...
