Description
A collection of eighteen gay horror stories introduced by Caroline Munro.
'The writing is immensely visual, hauntingly gentle and spine chilling in equal measure. Bewitching and erotic.'
William Jackson is the new master of gay horror, striking at the heart of the reader's deepest fears and twisting the pen.
With their deserted lanes and isolated cottages, his wicked tales have been described as 'Hammer Horror for the 21st Century'.

William Jackson is a British author of queer horror fiction. His characters inhabit a homonormative world in stark contrast to the heteronormativity of so much horror narrative. His writing looks at oppression, the inherent seductiveness of evil and the corruption, or moral decay, often masked by beauty. He cites his influences as Richard Laymon, Dennis Wheatley and Fred Mustard Stewart. Jackson is a master at reaching to the heart of the reader's deepest fears - then deftly twisting his pen. His fiction has been described as Hammer horror for the 21st Century. www.williamjackson.uk
