Synopsis:

Tiny Tales of Terror: Volume 1: Spots and Other Stories and Tiny Tales of Terror

The kids are alright…aren’t they?

Something weird is happening in the Happy Woodland Nursery – the delightful middle class preschool setting for the delightful middle-class children in the delightful middle-class town of Kingsworth. Spots have appeared on all of the young folk in the Badger Sett room and the staff can’t work out what’s caused them.

For the most part, the little boys and girls seem fine. But then, naptime rolls around and things change.

Delve into this twisted tale from author Dave Musson, then stick around ten more afterwards – there’s creepy dolls, unwelcome visitors, evil spirits and a few bad dreams too.

Tiny Tales of Terror, Volume 2: Anchor & Other Stories

Nurse? Nurse??

The last place the man in the otherwise empty ward wanted to be on a stifling summer’s day was in hospital, but he’d passed out at work and didn’t really have a choice. Still, at least he was feeling better now. Well, kind of…

No-one seemed to be responding when he pushed the call button – probably no-one could hear the button over the white noise that screeched every time he tried. And just what was going on with the colours in the room beyond the curtain pulled around his bed? They weren’t normal.

Good job he had his anchor to tie him to the real world…whatever that is.

Release Date: 20th June, 2023

Synopsis: Liz Kerin’s Night’s Edge is a sun-drenched novel about the darkest secrets we hide and how monstrous we can be to the ones we love most.
Having a mom like Izzy meant Mia had to grow up fast. No extracurriculars, no inviting friends over, and definitely no dating. The most important rule: Tell no one of Izzy’s hunger – the kind only blood can satisfy.
But Mia is in her twenties now and longs for a life of her own. One where she doesn’t have to worry about anyone discovering their terrible secret, or breathing down her neck. When Mia meets rebellious musician Jade she dares to hope she’s found a way to leave her home – and her mom – behind.
It just might be Mia’s only chance of getting out alive.
