Short Horror Tales - Omnibus 3 Ian Thompson

The third super-saving Short Horror Tales Omnibus...


KILL HIM, SLOWLY: Mr Slowly is a deadly, ruthless hit man. He never fails in an assignment - never fails to kill his target. His new job is to kill Joshua J. Woods, a millionaire who lives in a secluded mansion. Woods has security measures - including teams of guards and trained dogs... but Mr Slowly doesn't see these as an obstacle. One problem the assassin couldn't foresee is that Woods isn't human. He's a supernatural horror, surrounded by his evil brood... And bullets aren't going to stop him.


THE BURNING RIDER: A childish legend or a merciless supernatural executioner? For over three centuries, no one has entered the village of Lydchurch at night and survived. There have been over six hundred reports of the apparition, and untold numbers of deaths and disappearances. When a small team investigates the abandoned village at night, their task begins with grisly discoveries and evolves into nightmarish horror. Soon the survivors are trying desperately to escape the molten wrath of the Burning Rider...


TROLL: An urgent message sends Steve rushing to the home of his old friend Tom Howard. He expects to find Tom relapsed into drug addiction, but instead finds something far more sinister. The condition of the house is grotesquely, unnaturally strange. And Tom is living in the basement, almost starved to death and totally fixated upon the internet. Tom tells a story so incredible that Steve doubts his sanity - until he sees the truth for himself... The Troll is coming, to feast on misery, pain... and human flesh.


Short Horror Tales are quick reads written to captivate the reader with thrills, chills and unexpected twists.
