Souls
of the Southern Stars (Vantage, 2000/re-rel. Double Bay, 2006).
Ed Williams has had enough. He's lost his wife, his IT job and his ability
to sleep. He knows he must drive south to learn why his mind is quaking
with the hum of a hundred voices. He does not know that he's the latest
inheritor of the souls of Civil War cavalrymen ambushed en route to a
fort in New Mexico and which were freed from the cursed earth by a road
repair gang. Nor does Ed know that the closer he gets to Tucumcari, New
Mexico, the more energy the mummified remains of the cavalrymen will receive
as their lost spirits demand the bodies rise up to kill. And kill. And
kill…
Séances with the Living (Double Bay, 2006)
Roll up! Roll up! Come and meet the man who traded his identity to survive
a fall of 35,000 feet… The woman who found that the abandoned house she
used to watch her ex-lover get back together with his wife has some deadly
secrets of its own… The shopping catalogue seller who twists people's
wants in order to collect the wanters… The Nazi war-criminal who left
a nightmare inheritance locked in a vault… The credit card company that
wants you to pay in other ways… The psychic vampire that uses history
to trap its victims' minds… The clubber who finds his dream vacation island
is actually a living ancient evil… The plane mechanic-discoverer of a
way to live at ten times the speed who's intent on a terrifying revenge…
They're all in here. Are you ready to hear them?
Covenant of Aries (Double Bay, April 2012)
When a mysterious substance starts jamming communications and a string
of catastrophes bring the world to the brink, many thought it could get
no worse. Some believed that God could not let people endure a fate so
cruel, so terrifying. They were all wrong. Because what's coming at Mankind
from a brightening star in the constellation Aries is not his God, it's
the opposite. Worse, these are demons from an ancient civilisation known
only to a select few. And one of those few has summoned them with a blood
sacrifice. Somehow, amid a collapsing society, three men and a woman must
aim past the fuzz of confusion to strike at the heart of the very things
that are feeding off the terror of a planet in order to grow stronger.
But can they do it before the first demon lands to reclaim its Dread Empire
on Earth?
The Hell Eaters (Double Bay, December 2012)
Writer Bruce Carver arrives in Horst Valley to try and 'reconnect' with
the basics in life in small town Minnesota. In the same Welsh town where
Bruce had finished his previous novel, people are suddenly talking about
the 'Black Summer', a time over a century before when the young vanished
and the elderly died in droves. Bruce did not know that the scenic Gate
Lodge where he had been writing was once the home of a devil-worshipping
nobleman or that by writing on the estate, Bruce had reanimated an ancient
Dark force. Only when a young Welshwoman travels to tell him of the destruction
in her home town does Bruce start to make the awful connection. But what
of the other link? The strange French company that has just bought the
quarry near Horst Valley seem to have employed a silent workforce more
intent on guarding than quarrying…
