Bed of Crimson Joy

Bed of Crimson Joy – book cover

Rose and Stanley are an elderly couple, the sort of neighbours you’d trust to feed your cat and water your plants while you’re away. Not the sort of people you’d imagine rutting like animals on your freshly laundered sheets the minute you’ve gone.

Run to Ground

Run to Ground – book cover

Jim Mcleod is on the run. He’s running from his responsibilities as a father, hiding out from his pregnant girlfriend and working as a groundskeeper in a rural graveyard.

The Final Cut

The Final Cut – book cover

The Final Cut is a genre busting mash up of crime, horror and urban fantasy. An imaginative and thought provoking tale that explores our need to watch and make horror fiction, examining not just the medium, but the purpose of storytelling itself. Taking in everything from ancient myth, to modern atrocity, this novel will entrance, mystify and appall you in equal measures, haunting you long after you’ve reached the very last line.

In an East London lock up, two film makers, Jimmy and Sam, are duct taped to chairs and forced to watch a snuff film by Ashkan, a loan shark to whom they owe a lot of money. If they don’t pay up, they’ll be starring in the next one. Before the film reaches its end, Ashkan and all his men are slaughtered by unknown assailants. Only Jimmy and Sam survive the massacre, leaving them with the sole copy of the snuff film.

Bloodfellas

When there’s no room left in Hell, the dead will turn to crime.

Welcome to Atros City, where the dead stalk the lean streets, violin cases bulging with sub machine guns, hats pulled down to hide their rotting faces. No-one is safe from the chill hand of the Zombioso – the un-dead Mafia.

It’s 1930 and the whole of the US has gone dry. Papa Sang, head of the Zombioso, has gotten rich off sales of Ascension, a mystical drug that lets you visit Heaven, but his ambitions don’t stop there. He plans a hostile take over of the whole afterlife. All that stands in his way are two rogue angels, the head of the D.A.’s task force, a mystic crossroader and the Zombioso’s head enforcer Slackjaw Harris.

Stuck On You and Other Prime Cuts

Stuck On You and Other Prime Cuts – book cover

A word of caution gentle reader, these tales will take you places you’ve never been before and may never dare revisit. They’ll whisper truths so twisted you can only face them in the darkest hours of the night. They’ll unlock desires so decadent you’ll never wash their taint from your flesh.

All it takes is a single turn of the page and your taste in dark fiction will be transformed forever. So you have to ask yourself: ‘How daring do I feel…?’

Stuck On You

Stuck On You – book cover

Cheating husband Ricardo could never keep it in his pants, and now it’s stuck in the worst possible place. His Mexican road trip becomes a nightmare straight out of urban legend when he agrees to take the wrong woman back over the border. A bolt of lightning sees him fused to his fellow cheater on a detour into the backwoods. Now he’s fighting wild beasts and raw nature just to stay alive in this dark comedy romance that blends erotic horror with black humour and extreme splatter.

Do not buy this book, gentle reader. Move along, click away from this page and go look at some Dino porn instead. We’re not kidding. The only reason we published it is because award winning author Jasper Bark has got some serious dirt on us. Honestly, there’s no other reason to put out something this depraved.

They don’t sparkle or have any interest in us except to tear us apart. They are the monsters! Forgotten, unknown, misunderstood, overused, watered down. We adore them still.
