“They should have left it underground.
A new artefact arrives at the English Historical Museum: an ancient sarcophagus, origins unknown, thought to be older than any previously discovered. The stone is cracked; the markings are faded.
Inside, something moves...
Dr Andrea Cain works with mysteries of the ancient world. Cursed relics, occult ruins, secretive and dangerous keys to points in history that would be better left locked up. When the sarcophagus opens, she will face a creature from the past that should've stayed buried - one that could be the death of her.”
“Easter Sunday is a day of resurrection, of hope. A day of monsters.
When young arsonist Joel is sent to a quiet farmhouse to work off his damages, he finds an unexpected peace and resolve in the chores, and a new friend in old farmhand Rudy. But there's something dark in the woods around the farm, and it's hungry...
As Easter approaches the beast makes itself known, a hulking abomination that looks a lot like... the Easter Bunny?
But this creature is no fluffy mascot of joy and playfulness, and the egg-shaped gifts it leaves hidden around the farm are definitely not made of chocolate. Soon something becomes very clear: it's up to Joel to stop the monster before it causes even more chaos.”
“One moonlit night, a mother resorts to violent means to save her child.
One Christmas morning, a young boy receives a dreadful - and otherworldly - gift.
In these stories, ghosts and monsters abound. Dark forces swell in the shadows and cursed items have ghostly consequences. A drunkard kicks a cat, and lives to regret it; a young couple find solace in a wonderful musical instrument, only to unveil its ghastly secret. A researcher far from home discovers more than unusual wildlife in the mangroves of Southern America.
All this, and more...”
“Tickets, please...
In the old west, a spectre of death rides a locomotive bound for disaster. The Chicago L takes a casualty one rainy night - and leaves in its wake something far, far worse. The Norfolk countryside is wracked by a horrific crash, and a bloodthirsty passenger makes a mountainside journey even more perilous...
Where to?
Journey down thundering tracks, lurching from carriage to carriage as the monsters and beasts in this book fight for control of an engine veering rapidly out of control.”
“Let the hunt begin.
A party of wealthy hunters meet at the estate of Wayne Roman; the adventurer has procured for them a selection of exotic creatures, now roaming the expansive grounds.
The game: hunt and kill anything you can. The prize: the thrill of a lifetime.
The catch: they're hunting you too.
In this tale of mad science and devastating horror, 'exotic' takes on a brand new meaning. Abominations stalk the grounds, deadly beasts with unfathomable origins - but are they the creations of a madman? Or something much, much worse?”
“Something is terrorising the North Pole.
Diana Clark and ex-soldier Oliver Cale are sent to a small research station to investigate the disappearance of a group of scientists. What they find stalking the arctic tundra is something neither of them could have expected.
Something big.
As they join a group of terrified survivors, Diana and Cale are forced to make a terrible choice: freeze to death, or make a stand and risk being torn apart?
But the thing roaming the tundra isn't just big. It's hungry, and it's ancient, and it's coming for them...”
“Below ground, rivers of gore swell through the tunnels.
Far above, the eerie wreckage of a long-dead ghost town lies dormant, waiting. Creatures stir in the mist, hungry and abandoned...
A gunslinger parades the surface. A lost, terrified boy slops through the sewers beneath, looking desperately for a way up.
But what connects the visceral hellscape of the tunnels with the sand-scraped nightmare of the gunslinger's home?
What will Brian Cooper discover when he makes it topside - and can things ever be the same again when he finds out the truth?”
“For Claire Casey, a British medical doctor in need of a fresh start, the other side of the world doesn't seem quite far enough. But deep in the Tanami Desert, a great beast is waiting to drag her farther than she could ever have imagined...
This is another world entirely. The Drop Bear is a cryptid of Australian legend, a gigantic koala-like creature as mythical as the Yowie or river-dwelling Bunyip. Banding together with a group of young survivors, each with secrets of their own, Claire will discover that many myths have their foundation in reality - and that the beast hunting them is not the only danger lurking in the outback...
The first entry in the Outback Terror series from Derek Heath begins to unravel a web of conspiracy encompassing cryptid lore, savage wildlife, and monstrous human intervention.”
“A powerful witch.
Hiding out in a derelict vicarage in the village of Black Rope, April Leek is grieving the tragedy of her father and reluctantly honing her craft. In her freezer, a deadly secret lies dormant and waiting to thaw out. On the road, hurtling toward her...
Jack Tilley, witch-hunter.
Sent by the British Witch Finders' Agency to hunt down a vengeful witch, Tilley comes to Black Rope with only the mission on his mind. But something bigger is coming for them both - something far worse. And when the Parliament arrive, these two unlikely heroes may just have to work together to face it... or die trying.”
“Endure a spectrum of horror. Experience the colour of fear.
In this collection, you'll find seven colour-coded tales of horror, from pearl white to blood red.
At a tactical turning point during the First World War, the seeds of a strange invasion are planted. A house renovation goes awry when a dreadful artefact is unearthed in the attic, and a strange catch sends one fisherman spiralling into despair. Aunt Coral comes to visit, and a backwoods family makes an offering to their unusual Master. A screenwriter connects with nature, and a recovering alcoholic takes a job in the isolated marsh - his only task: to keep the lamp alight...
Marsh Lights is the third short story collection from British horror author Derek Heath and features seven tales of the weird and paranormal.”
“There's something up in the mountains...
On the Welsh border, legends of a brutal creature haunt villagers and terrorise tourists. The fields are empty of livestock. Hikers are warned to stay out of the hills. But someone knows more than they're letting on about the beast...
A brand-new cryptid horror from the author of Drop Bear.
Rachel Wheatley is a writer looking for inspiration in the Welsh countryside. But what she will find in the hills is a terror more visceral and violent than she could have imagined...
In this creature feature from Derek Heath, an iconic creature from cryptid lore comes to the UK in search of blood. And it is thirsty.”
