    About this ebook

    A collection of five short stories and a Novellete centered around the theme of Secrets, Lies, and Betrayal within the Horror and Thriller genres. 

    In 'STALKED' Andrew Wood meets his favourite author but is pulled into a scheme by a crazy stalker who will stop at nothing to destroy the author's reputation. 

    'CONFESSIONS' sees two colleagues at a call-centre locked in their staff room while their survival hangs on confessing their truths to an unknown intruder.

    Follow two strangers, Tyrone McLaoch and Sherrie Hope, in the 'WASTELANDS' as they navigate through a world overrun by the Infected.

    While babysitting her younger brother Daisy Strong receives a 'HOUSE CALL' that will change her life forever. 

    'LEAST HAUNTED' is a first-person account from James Wilson and his experience in the infamous Harmony House while he searched for the truth to his question: Does the Supernatural exist?

    Working in retail isn't enjoyable for most people but for these nine colleagues working on the 'NIGHTSHIFT' they would rather the supermarket was infested with entitled customers than a Serial Killer out for revenge. By the end of the night, one thing is sure... no secret will be left unsaid.
