New Scares from London Town
by Tony Walker
Twelve tales of terror set in the streets, parks, and shadows of London. Fog-shrouded alleys, the dark waters of the Thames, and things that should stay buried—but don't.
The Highgate Vampire: A lazy hippy in a 1970s Highgate squat becomes dangerously entangled in the sinister events unfolding in the cemetery next door.
Bad Times in Little Venice: Doing favours for your boss in pursuit of promotion seems harmless—until you find yourself alone by the canal after dark.
Gematria: Regents Canal, Camden Town, and a pattern of unlucky numbers that refuse to be coincidence.
The Shadow of the Ripper: In 19th-century Whitechapel, a young Irish girl trying to make an honest living discovers that some shadows never fade.
Noises in the Attic: Cheap accommodation in an old Wapping house next to The Prospect of Whitby seems too good to be true. It is. Something lives upstairs.
The Frog God: Some things found in Greenwich Market should never be taken home.
...and six more tales of London's hidden horrors.

Noir meets the occult in gaslit 1920s London. A sceptical detective. A dead woman who isn't. And a conspiracy that turns the city's shadows into something far worse than metaphor.
Vampire noir at its darkest. A damaged detective. A missing child. And something ancient wearing the face of Parisian glamour. Christian Le Cozh didn't come to Paris to be a hero. But the city has decided he'll do.

A LitRPG Saga
Revenge is a dish best served with poison, steel, and a majestic golden eagle.
After being brutally stripped of his gear and dignity by the sadistic thief Loki, Barcud deletes his account in a fit of rage--only to realise he left a legendary Easter Egg behind. Reborn as an Elf Ranger, he returns to the hyper-realistic world of the Greenwood to hunt his tormentor.
Joined by an eccentric cast--including the narcissistic Runesmith Harald and the operatic battlefield terror Romeo el Mejor--Barcud must master the “mechanical necessity” of the forest to survive. From the Forest of Nightmares to the flaming floors of the Royal Palace, the hunt is on.
In the Greenwood, your stats are your life--and Barcud is playing for blood.
