DO NOT READ AFTER MIDNIGHT

Buy Now from £6 >>

Some doors should remain closed. Some reflections should never smile back. And some stories are best left unread after midnight...
 

Within these pages, a drunken roadkill cleaner discovers that some bodies refuse to burn; a Victorian doctor receives an unforgettable late-night visitor; and a young woman begins to fear that sleep itself is trying to crush her.
 

Four friends return to the scene of a terrible event to discover the past is very much alive, while an asylum inmate insists he is perfectly sane – despite the mounting evidence to the contrary. A carefree holiday in Cornwall becomes a nightmare beneath the water, and a Halloween celebration attracts some decidedly unexpected guests.
 

Elsewhere, artificial intelligence reaches beyond the grave, a childhood terror waits patiently in the mirror, and a wedding guest must venture into the dungeons beneath an ancient castle. There are deadly creatures lurking in a Scottish loch, teenagers dabbling with mystic arts and a model railway, a well-intentioned idea that takes a diabolical turn, and Lucifer waiting patiently on a decaying seaside pier.
 

And if a strange little boy ever warns you not to step on a crack, you might want to listen.
 

Fifteen unsettling tales. Fifteen reasons to keep the lights on.

Stories by Ryan Fitzgerald, Christopher Balmer, Hannah Rowan Michelle Rae Lee, Alex Woolf, Ruth Masters, Elizabeth Westray, Michael Thame, Christopher Webster, Cameron Walker, Eric T. Campbell, Steve Edwards & Belinda Kelderhouse
