GROTESQUE TALES... UNEASY TALES... "The emaciated sodden legs beat a ceaseless march on the unresisting veil, like those of a gallows victim marking time in air. The battered, half-eaten arms clawed blindly at nothing. The eyes were gone, and within their ragged-edged hollows was manifest the coiling purposeful movement of reptilian life." ('Animate in Death') Squadron Leader Leslie Allin Lewis (1899-1961) was a veteran of both world wars, flying Sopwith Camels over France in 1918 and Hurricanes over England in 1940. He was also one of the best writers in the macabre and supernatural genre between wars. "Lewis undoubtedly earns a high place among the best masters of supernatural and macabre literature that Britain has ever produced." (Richard Dalby) "A brilliant collection." (Mark Samuels) FIRST TIME IN PAPERBACK.

Samantha Lee can tell a great story, be it heart-rending horror or charming jokey fantasies, such as 'Take Five' and 'Scoop'. These will be a little light relief from the razor edged terrors in other stories such as 'The Island of the Seals' and 'Nobody Thinks He's A Bad Guy'. She has a way of depicting torture and cruelty, often with a sharp eye on the humanitarian issues. These are dark stories indeed, told with just the right dollop of horror to thoroughly unnerve the reader. And if you want ghosts and mythical beings, there's 'Cat's Cradle' and 'Over My Dead Body', each of them unnerving in their own way. Samantha Lee's output is as diverse as it is prolific, covering both fact and fiction and including novels in the science fiction and dark fantasy genres, self-development and exercise books, short stories and articles, TV series and movie screenplays, literary criticism and poetry. Her genre novels include the best selling Point Horror imprint titles "Demon," "Demon II," "Amy," "The Belltower" and "The Bogle."
