Urban Horror Volumes 1-3 (Revised): Urban Horror - Paperback

by Richard Gk Stark (Author)

What No Vampires or Zombies Something far more original. Gripping, hard-hitting Contemporary Horror stories that lie on the edge of what is reality and what is fantasy. In the wake of Volume Four this is Volumes 1-3 collated and revised. Each story features a contemporary character (they may remind you of someone you know) who finds themselves in an everyday situation (one that we may all have experienced at some time) that is given a horrific twist. In this volume a few of the stories are as much SciFi as Horror, but still guaranteed to scare. What You WON'T Find Here: Hordes of ravenous zombies. Romantic Vampires. Copious amounts of gore. What You WILL Find Here: Original ideas. Incisive, topical stories - most Horror, a few more SciFi but all dark and thought provoking. Some gore as and when appropriate. Designed to take 10-15 minutes each to read so perfect for reading whilst on the go in bite size chunks. In this series: City Slicker - a PR Exec upsets a gypsy on the subway. Doors - a high flying lawyer leaves the family firm he began with to join one of the biggest Law Firms in the World. Will he regret it? End of the Line - a Commuter falls asleep on the train, missing his stop. Shopahoilic - A teenage girl gets more than she bargained for in a Shopping Mall.
