Wakeful Children: The Blurb

Wakeful Children is a collection of imaginative, inventive short horror stories and tales of dark fiction. You, the reader, will unwittingly witness the twisted brutality of Joe Gallows; the weird dreamscape of The Sandman; the ice-cold grasp of The Face of the Gale; the elemental horror of an ancient, evil entity in Devil's Drop. In Absorption, you will visit residents of a darkly troubled street, watched over by a beautiful, malignant presence all the while.

These and other tales make Wakeful Children an unusual, compelling, refreshingly different read in this genre, as well as an impressive debut. One that will leave you thinking of it long after you have turned the last page...
