Flee, an intense psychological horror combines pulse pounding terror with dark magic and a world of secrets.

There is a very real darkness that dwells deep in our souls... and some have learned to set it free.

When Laura Kamryn disappears on a trip back to her remote hometown, her distraught fiance Rey Morfin convinces Laura's childhood friend Anna Tyndall to return to the small town of Redbury to help investigate. Using Anna's knowledge of the local area, and more importantly, the people, Rey hopes to find Laura - alive.

But beneath the surface, a wickedness stirs. The residents allude to a rampant fire that scarred the town, a witch from whom the children flee, and monstrous shapes that lurk in the shadows.

Rey's journey will take him to the darkest corners of the English countryside, encountering a mysterious root, afternoon tea, and beings that are perhaps human no more.

An eerie, supernatural thriller set in a Victorian asylum in the heart of Wales.

1893, and nineteen year old Flora George is admitted to a remote asylum with no idea why she is there, what happened to her child, or how her wealthy family could have abandoned her to such a fate. However, within a short space of time it becomes apparent she must save herself from something far worse than that of a harsh regime.

2018, and forty-one year old Isobel Lee moves into the gatehouse of what was once the old asylum. A reluctant medium, it is with dismay she realises there is a terrible secret here - one desperate to be heard. Angry and upset, Isobel baulks at what she must now face. But with the help of local dark arts practitioner, Branwen, face it she must.

This is a dark story of human cruelty, folklore and superstition. But the human spirit can and will prevail...unless of course, the wrath of the fae is incited...

WARNING: Abandon hope (and modern tech) all who enter the Oregon Zombie Preserve. Zombies are about to become the least of your concerns.

For some reason, ever since the old world died at the teeth and nails of its infected citizens, zombies inevitably shambled their way to Oregon. Nobody seemed to know why. Even more mysterious, people built a city there, in the middle of the sea of dead -- a city that turned into a veritable paradise: Bentlam. Pilgrims flock from across the globe to venture beyond the giant wall of the Zombie Preserve in hopes of reaching the world's greatest remaining city.Blake Prose, on the other hand, is an idealistic Texan who simply wants to reach his family in Portland, another city managing to thrive amidst the rotting hordes. But when he meets a little girl in trouble and a beautiful scientist who is determined to see the girl to safety, Blake's straightforward plans suddenly turn as wild and hair-raising as the darkest pits of zombie country itself.

From romance on a train to being lynched on the trail; from being named successor to the legendary Western Ranger to competing in the Outbreak Festival; from the horrible secrets of Bentlam to the strange catacombs of a magical library and finally to a confrontation with the true rulers of the Zombie Preserve -- Blake learns why a person content to go to paradise alone will never go to paradise.

This omnibus includes volumes 1-5, which sees Blake through to a climactic confrontation with the rulers of zombie country.

Part paranormal western, part steampunk adventure, part spiritual quest, Head Dead West will appeal to a wide range of readers. Think of Max Brooks' World War Z mixed with Donald Miller's Blue Like Jazz and then poured into Stephen King's The Gunslinger.
