Beginning April 21st, our tales of the supernatural short-story collection, Grave Warnings Omnibus will be see it’s cover priced drastically reduced. This will be the perfect chance for readers to pick up a copy if they haven’t already done so.
Thirteen tales of the strange and the unusual
The Grave Warnings Omnibus brings together the stories of Grave Warnings and Grave Warnings II in one complete collection, along with two new bonus stories.
Alexander Penrose had a simple idea. He wanted a home for himself and his family, and when he found a beautiful plot of land going cheap in the English countryside, he could see no earthly reason not to buy it. Sometimes, just sometimes, there’s a reason land is cheap. Hob House and its terror-filled halls weave their way from one century to the next. From the reign of George III to the modern day, meet the poor souls who were fated to become its inhabitants in life… and sometimes in death.
Alistair Martin is a devoted husband, loving father and the lord of an Essex country house in the early 20th century. He is also a collector of rare and unusual books, and after making his latest acquisition he begins to experience strange and disturbing dreams. How far will Alistair go to determine the connection between the dreams and his new book, and what is the sinister secret of the Family Album?
Is there something after death? Ever since the passing of his beloved wife, Morgan Gower would earnestly like to believe yes. Bricked up and abandoned in the labyrinth of the London Underground system lay the remains of Down Street Station. Long rumoured to be haunted, they seem an opportune place to try and find proof of the afterlife. But some questions are better off left unanswered, perhaps, and sometimes a door that’s locked should never be opened.
Featuring stories by Sarah Parry, Craig Charlesworth, Jodie van de Wetering, Hannah G. Parry, Hamish Crawford, Kevin Mason, Simon Blake, Greg Maughan, Robert Mammone, Richard Peeves & Matt Tovey.
