It came from nowhere. The only warning was the endless rumbling of a growing earthquake. Then the water came - crashing, rushing water, covering everything. Destroying everything. When it stopped, all that was left was the gentle lapping of waves against the few remaining buildings rising above the surface of the sea. Will the isolated survivors be able to rebuild their lives, their civilization, when nearly all they knew has been wiped out? It seems hopeless. But what lurks beneath the swirling water, waiting to emerge, is far worse. When the floodwaters finally recede, the true horror will be revealed. |

| A previously quiet and withdrawn student at Maybury University suddenly becomes the forceful leader of 'The Crack', an organization which has the power to shape and alter its followers' personalities and push them to the limits of pleasure and pain. Quotes: "A sizzling banquet of the bizarre that simply demands to be read." - Julian Lloyd Webber, Sunday Express "A big, blusteringly red-faced, glowering novel of neo-religious cults, bizarre sex and rarely plumbed levels of almost impenetrable blackness... the essence of true horror." - Peter Crowther, Fear Magazine |

| It is almost Halloween in the sleepy New England town of Blackwood Falls. Autumn leaves litter lawns and sidewalks, paper skeletons hang in windows, and carved pumpkins leer from stoops and front porches. All seems peaceful, but the Doctor and Martha soon discover that something long-dormant has awoken in the town, and that this will be no ordinary Halloween. What is the secret of the ancient tree and the arcane book discovered tangled in its roots? What rises from the local churchyard in the dead of night, sealing up the lips of the only witness? And why are the harmless trappings of Halloween suddenly taking on a creepy new life of their own? As nightmarish creatures prowl the streets, the Doctor and Martha must battle to prevent both the townspeople and themselves from suffering a grisly fate... |

| "The uglimen are coming. Watch your back. They killed your dad. They'll kill you too if they can." Rob Loomis has everything he could wish for: a beautiful girlfriend, a job he loves, a nice flat in London.

| Ruth Gemmill grows worried when her younger brother Alex stops returning her calls. He has been living in the small village of Greenwell and working as a teacher, so Ruth travels there to find out what has happened to him. She meets an intimidating wall of silence from the locals, and the growing unease the town generates in her is worsened by the blank non-cooperation of the police. The questions accumulate, but the most pressing is who is the "grey man" Alex's pupils saw him with just before he vanished. As Ruth's fears escalate, the tension is ratcheted up by the appearance of a brutal ex-lover she knew in London, a man who caused her years of pain. And as Ruth descends into this nightmare of mystery and suspicion, she comes ever closer to some terrifying revelations. Quotes: "Morris writes superbly about a small town's subtle gathering of menacing forces and a rising level of personal threat." - Nicholas Royle, Time Out "Eerie, assured and utterly compelling, this is a novel you will not forget." - Michael Marshall Smith |
