Sharp as a snakebite, Sundial is a gripping novel about the secrets we bury from the ones we love most, from Catriona Ward, the author of The Last House on Needless Street.

Rob has spent her life running from Sundial, the family’s ranch deep in the Mojave Desert, and her childhood memories.

But she’s worried about her daughter, Callie, who collects animal bones and whispers to imaginary friends. It reminds her of a darkness that runs in her family, and Rob knows it’s time to return.

Callie is terrified of her mother. Rob digs holes in the backyard late at night, and tells disturbing stories about growing up on the ranch. Soon Callie begins to fear that only one of them will leave Sundial alive...

They arrive alive. They leave dead.

But first, they give me their confessions.

My name is Jack Steen. That name shouldn’t mean anything to you. Unless you’re about to die. And then I’m your bloody guardian angel. I work as a night nurse in the Asylum for the criminally insane.

My name is the only real name you’ll find in this book. I won’t tell you which hospital I work at. I won’t tell you the names of those dying.But I won’t lie to you.You’ll read exactly what I’m told.

If you’re smart, if you’re deranged enough to read between the lines, you’ll know who is telling the story.

They could be playing their final game with me by messing with my head. Now, maybe they're messing with yours too.

East Berlin 1968: a city recovering from the horrors of WWII and where the state police, the Stasi, cultivate a climate of paranoia and fear. In a place where your closest friend or family member could be a state informer, the threat of violence is ever present and no one knows this more than damaged school teacher Sebastian Metzger. But something evil and ancient is stalking Metzger from the shadows of war–torn buildings–something which threatens the city and perhaps even the future of humanity itself. Tiny Acts of Violence is a stunning horror graphic novel from Martin Stiff, writer and illustrator of the critically acclaimed and award-nominated The Absence. “It’s an erudite indictment of social conditioning - - it goes beyond The Lives of Others in its critique of the Stasi.” Pat Mills (Charley’s War, Spacewarp) “Has the feel of a long-unearthed Hitchcock… A highly effective thriller” Rob Williams (Old Haunts, Judge Dredd) “The atmosphere of menace and state control-induced paranoia drops from it’s pages.” Simon Furman (Transformers, To The Death) “Gorgeously moody, graphically striking and brilliantly cinematic” Andrew Cartmel (The Vinyl Detective, Doctor Who)

Introduction and Notes by Dr David Rogers, Kingston University. 'There he lay looking as if youth had been half-renewed, for the white hair and moustache were changed to dark iron-grey, the cheeks were fuller, and the white skin seemed ruby-red underneath; the mouth was redder than ever, for on the lips were gouts of fresh blood, which trickled from the corners of the mouth and ran over the chin and neck. Even the deep, burning eyes seemed set amongst the swollen flesh, for the lids and pouches underneath were bloated. It seemed as if the whole awful creature were simply gorged with blood; he lay like a filthy leech, exhausted with his repletion.' Thus Bram Stoker, one of the greatest exponents of the supernatural narrative, describes the demonic subject of his chilling masterpiece Dracula, a truly iconic and unsettling tale of vampirism.

Sometimes IT appeared as an evil clown named Pennywise and sometimes IT reached up, seizing, tearing, killing . . . Time passed and the children grew up, moved away and forgot. THEN they are called back, once more to confront IT as IT stirs and coils in the sullen depths of their memories, emerging again to make their past nightmares a terrible present reality... 'They'll float...and when you're down here with me, you'll float too'
