Publisher's summary

A winter’s day, and something terrifyingly dangerous is waiting out there in the snow, while at the same time an even more dangerous curse is spoken…

In a possible future, a monster uprising is in full flow, but a couple have their own problems to deal with when they’re stuck in a very strange queue. And, while a scientist attempts to rid humanity of all evil, a female werewolf is on the prowl…

Here we have a clutch of stories by award-winning and number one best-selling author Paul Kane (Hooded Man, Sherlock Holmes and the Servants of Hell, Before, Arcana), including another one of his popular horror fairy tales and a Mortis-Man prequel, proving once again that there’s more to this world than can be seen by the naked eye. With an introduction by Sunday Times best-selling author Cavan Scott (Doctor Who: The Shining Man) and cover by Christian Francis (Wishmaster: The Novelisation), you might just find yourself taking another look at what you thought was possible. Watch out!

"Paul Kane gets horror. He understands it in his bones."

(From the introduction by Cavan Scott, Sunday Times best-selling author/writer of Dalek, Sherlock Holmes: Cry of the Innocents, and Star Wars: The High Republic)

"Paul Kane’s lean, stripped-back prose is a tool that’s very much fit for purpose. He knows how to make you want to avoid the shadows and the cracks in the pavement." (Mike Carey, best-selling author of the Felix Castor series of novels and The Girl With All the Gifts, Fellside, The Boy on the Bridge, and The Book of Koli as M.R. Carey)

"Kane finds the everyday horrors buried within us, rips them out and serves them up in these deliciously dark tales." (Kelley Armstrong, best-selling author of Bitten, Haunted, Broken, Waking the Witch, Spell Bound, and Thirteen)

"I’m impressed by the range of Paul Kane’s imagination. It seems there is no risk, no high-stakes gamble, he fears to take…. Kane’s foot never gets even close to the brake pedal." (Peter Straub, best-selling author of Ghost Story, Mr. X, Lost Boy Lost Girl, and In the Night Room)

"Paul Kane is a name to watch. His work is disturbing and very creepy." (Tim Lebbon, New York Times best-selling author of The Cabin in the Woods, The Silence, and Eden)

"His stories not only, at his best, put him neck-and-neck with Ramsey Campbell and Clive Barker, but also in the company of greats like Machen and M.R. James. You don’t rest easily after reading a Paul Kane story, but strangely your eyes have been somewhat opened." (Stephen Volk, BAFTA-winning screenwriter of Gothic, Ghostwatch, Afterlife, and The Awakening)

Eclectic dark collection

This was my first experience with Paul Kane’s stories but it won’t be my last. With a wide range of perspectives and sub genres, Kane shows what he is capable of and what I have missed by not reading him before.
Monsters in the snow, curses being worse than what you wish, extraction of evil, a female werewolf, and a novella on the birth of a superhero. This collection has it all and with the author notes at the end you find that many of these stories are offshoots from Kane’s other stories which has me excited and wanting more.
