Tales of the Weak & the Wounded

The sound of shuffling footsteps across the old cell floor…

A soft voice like a strange tune echoing along the empty corridors…

Dim lights in the windows of the abandoned asylum…

Discarded case files that flip open to reveal the dreams of broken minds…

Welcome to a place where the boundaries of fact and fiction meet.

 
My new collection, Tales of the Weak & the Wounded is now available for preorders from the Dark Regions website.

The book contains 17 stories, 7 of which have never been published before. There's also new material in the form of a linking Prologue and Epilogue set in the Daleside, a derelict mental institution long-time readers of my work will recognise from my first ever book Rough Cut.

I'm delighted with this book. The cover art (by David Whitlam) is extraordinary, and I think it's my most varied collection yet. Thanks to Dark Regions Press for creating such a beautiful product.
