people go to in order to find truth and happiness. Some of the
characters in these tales achieve their dream and have it snatched

From Elsewhere collects some of Tim Jeffreys' most recent short
fiction, taken from a variety of sources (the anthologies Fear's
Accomplice, Cosmic Horror, and Miseria's Chorale; and literary
magazines such as The Horror Zine and Killing the Angel) aswell as
much previously unpublished work. They range in tone from creepy
horror, sci-fi tinged, to folk/fairy tales, and the just plain
weird. Not all tales are dark - there's humour and pathos to be
found in these stories too. The reader can expect these tales to
linger in the mind once they have closed the book.
Dark Lane Anthology Volume 8 contains twenty-three strange stories
written by such esteemed authors as C.M. Muller, Rebecca Lloyd,
Marvin Brown, Bill Davidson, Mike O'Driscoll, Robert Pope, Michael
W. Thomas, Charles Wilkinson, and a host of other talents. Within
these pages the reader will encounter an unusual kind of
vampire-ism, spooks, sinister puppets, men returned from the dead,
and one hell of a gigantic baby.
You Will Never Lose Me will take you on a journey to the inner
recesses of your soul, where darkness seeks retribution: A man
wandering a post-apocalyptic landscape is burdened by valuable
memories of the sea. But why should something so enriching to the
soul be a burden? A typical English village is overshadowed by an
unwelcome presence. What is this village menace and why is Owen
Lloyd the only one unaffected by it? An art gallery conservator has
a morbid obsession with his paintings. But what image is forming in
the painting he restores, and will it be noticed in time? A woman
hesitates near a bridge. What prevents her from going under? And
will she give in to it? You Will Never Lose Me gathers nineteen of
Tim Jeffreys' fabulously nightmarish, darkly humorous,
thought-provoking and occasionally moving stories which have
appeared in many publications, including Nightscript, Weirdbook and
Sanitarium Magazine.
After escaping the death and destruction of Port Peleas, Jake and
Sarah have found a place to lay low for a while. Their peace,
though, doesn't last, as enemies and allies are still in hot
pursuit of Alure, the sun-lady figurine they carry with them, an
object thought to hold the power of restoring peace to the land of
Anhedonika. The pair will soon struggle to know who they can trust
as they encounter a new set of characters and are drawn deeper into
a plot to bring an end to Anhedonika's cruel ruler, The Lord. And
now that they have found each other, they must fight to remain
together as forces beyond their control threaten to tear them apart
once more.
From a schoolgirl who wreaks death and destruction on her bullies
via a magical ceremony, a man-eating siren who picks the wrong kind
of soul to suck, a worker at a factory where cheese is made by
milking humanoid creatures, a mobster who finds enlightenment
through the resurrection of an assassinated village mayor, and a
man who must wrestle for the attentions of his beloved with a
mythical creature, the stories in Dark Lane Anthology: Volume Six
take the reader through a range of bizarre and disturbing
scenarios. But these tales are not merely intended to scare or
unsettle. The characters in these pages learn things about
themselves through their surreal and otherworldly experiences: how
to love, how to forgive, how to grieve, how to fight, and, of
course, how to protect yourself when confronted with a satanic
rhinoceros in the menswear section at Debenhams.
The Dark Lane Anthology series returns with a new compendium of
weird and wonderful short stories. Opening with a new unpublished
story from the master of low-key weird fiction Charles Wilkinson,
and introduced by The Horror Tree columnist F. Charles Murdock;
Volume Four also includes fantastic fiction from David S. Golding,
K. Dewess, Neil Davies, Andrea Adams, Arthur Davis, Megan Crosbie,
Rhoads Brazos, Peter Emmett Naughton, Louis Rakovich, F. Charles
Murdock, Damon King, Christopher Fielden, Tim Jeffreys, Tim
Turnbull, Ed Ahern and Robert Pope. As if that wasn't enough, some
of the stories herein have been lovingly illustrated by Vikki
Yeates, Sally Barnett and Andrea Adams.
A man who can't outrun a past mistake; a mysterious attendee at an
illegal street fight; people haunted by whispers, footsteps,
menacing figures; shapeshifters, fairies who steal newborn babies,
places no one dares to go. All this and more can be found in this
new collection of short stories by Tim Jeffreys. Nine previous
published stories and eight that are original to this collection,
including the novelette The Wilds.
