A hunger that will feed upon his blood, his regrets and his worst fears. It will show him what he has forgotten. It will show him nightmare made flesh. And, before he dies, it will make him look deep into the eyes of the dead.

This Darkness Mine
The City is a house of flies, slowly rotting away. Soho Ghetto is a place of riots, sex, abuse and disease but it is no worse than the corporate meat-markets that staff their offices with the corpses of recently-deceased employees. Have you ever been to The Shop? Would you know a Bottom-Feeder if you saw one? Do you know what it feels like to be eaten alive by a Redundancy Package? Would you like to meet a Fallen Angel? All of these things and more are here. This is the bestiary of the 21st Century. This darkness mine.

Night Residue
Come here, into the space that exists between the light and the dark…where a masked god plays with the blind puppet-folk who worship him…where a woman dying to get out of this life finds black salvation in an old shop across the street…where churches and theatres become places of dismal communion…where dreams and nightmares guide the unwitting and unwilling through the broken patterns of their lives. These are fragments, thoughts and memories of a shadow world that linger on in the brain after waking. These are the night’s residue.

The Thing Behind the Door
“Then, why don’t you run, eh? Right back to school.”
The Old School stood alone and abandoned on the edge of the Old Town, somewhere in the South-East of England. It was a place of horror and old nightmares; where shadows gathered and the silence was haunted by the voices of the dead. Clayton, Jennifer and Louisa are being drawn back to the Old School, drawn by something shaped from their own darkness and despair. It waits for them, it calls to them, and it yearns to take everything from them. Because it was once like them but now it is something else.
Forgotten and unloved. Unforgiven and hated.
It is the Thing Behind the Door.
