Books by Michael Whitehouse

Stranded for the night in a remote village, a writer takes refuge in a small inn, warming himself by the fire with a bottle of wine, waiting for the morning. When he is joined by another of the inn's guests, he is captivated and shocked by the superstitious tale he hears; of a place which looms large nearby, where things that should not be walk at night, and of a shadow which casts its foul darkness on all below.

In the throes of a heart attack, a man finds himself trapped in a log cabin, set upon by the evil which lurks in Blackwood forest; a mother takes the last bus home, only to be confronted by an unearthly hooded passenger; and a serial killer finds his world crumbling with each shambling step of a nightly visitor. 12 stories exploring terror in all its incarnations can be found within these pages, as the reader is asked to gather their courage, to open the door to the night, to breathe the icy air, and to stare firmly into The Face of Fear.

Warm yourself by the fire with this collection of three terrifying Christmas tales from the author of modern horror classics On A Hill and Bedtime. A neighbour is invited to have Christmas dinner with a loving family, little does he know, he's the turkey; a man stricken by the loss of his wife, visits the place where she died the year before at Christmas, only to find something hideous in the woods; and a small child is terrified to open the doors on his advent calendar each night, as the pictures inside suggest a hidden evil is lurking nearby. Three chilling tales which explore both the joy and The Horrors of Christmas.
