A bundle of stories from Graeme S. Houston; they run (though not in sequence) from his very earliest works to his very latest. From Thrillers to Serial Killers, from Philosophical Speculation to Speculative Fiction, within this volume is something for everyone.
Mistaken (Thriller)
Arisa watches in horror as a dark shadowy figure swoops upon Roberto, and in the man’s hand flashes the silver of a wicked blade, brought around to where Roberto stands. She can do nothing but watch that brutal moment, while her world spins about her in a disconnected spiral of uncomprehending thoughts. At the back of her mind a little voice is screaming for her to run, for she is next, and it’s a long dark night…
A Last Wish (Literary)
Melanie is lost, and driving through the darkest and most empty reaches of Scotland trying to find a town or a villag | |  | | The Shade of the Soul
This is a book about our deepest fears.
No one knows where the noki came from, or how they got here, but they are terrible fiends. Black as night, drifting, floating wraiths which can drift through any substance as if they were ghosts, but their claws can be as sharp and as solid as the sharpest blade, when they want them to be. The tentative civilisations have survived only because the noki have a deadly aversion to jade; jade posts keep them at bay, jade weapons will kill them, jade walls are impenetrable to the noki, but the noki are growing in number, and now they even have men helping them. Posts moved to let them in, prisoners |
