David Turton

Bonjour, Stevie David Turton

"David Turton has proved again and again that he is not only one of the most riveting new voices working today, but that his work bears a unique quality that is seldom seen. His ability to transform his style of writing, work within varying genres, be it Lovecraftian fiction or literary horror, separates Turton from the pack." - The Gehenna Post -------------------------- British horror author David Turton spins four short tales of terror, quick reads about unknown horrors to keep you awake during the cold, dark nights. A nod to H. P. Lovecraft, this collection is the latest in the series of Turton's 'Short Tales of Horror'. The Scrap Metal Man is the tale of a mysterious man who owns a scrapyard outside a rundown South Yorkshire town. Two teenagers working at a garage go to find out more about the man, who lives up to his name in terrifying fashion. The Horror in the Loch sees a boy and his father take a trip to see the Loch Ness Monster during a solar eclipse. As strange events begin to occur, they find out that the mythical beast may be something much more malevolent than they feared. It Emerges at Midnight is the story of a group of University friends who, armed with ancient text and a desire for the macabre, unleash a terrifying beast onto the world and have to deal with the gruesome consequences. Bonjour Stevie is a unique tale explored though emails from a mother and father who are holidaying in France, to their pregnant daughter Stevie. What is a typical series of communications from parents soon descends into cold terror, as the real reason for their trip comes to light and the world turns upside down. *The short story collection also includes a bonus look inside Turton's upcoming post-apocalyptic novel The Malaise*
