Sleep, Think, Die: Mindless Trilogy: Book One eBook : Oldham, S P: Amazon.co.uk: Kindle Store

Picture this: you’re sitting in a bar minding your own business, having a quiet drink or two, when trouble steps in off the street. A shambling wreck stumbles over the threshold, bloodied clothes torn, muttering incoherently. Just another idiot who doesn’t know when enough is too much. You raise your glass, take another slug. It’s okay, security can handle it.

But then over by the juke box a woman screams, a man swears loudly. You look up to see the barman drop the pint he’s pouring and back off, pale and shivering. Maybe you should turn around and take a closer look…

Then the world goes crazy. Before you know it, you’re shoulder to shoulder with security, fighting a wave of undead. Someone throws you a cue – a whole new meaning to the phrase ‘killer pool.’ When it’s over, there’s only four of you left; you, two hard men and the terrified girl you find hiding beneath the corpse of her boyfriend.

So begins the story of a new kind of world; where the dead are far more ambulant than they should be, and the living must walk amongst them, fighting to survive.

It’s Finally Time!

It's finally time! If you missed out on pre-ordering, you can now snap up M. Purkiss's new book, 'New Fears Unlocked,' in paperback or on Kindle, from Amazon!

Chilling tales to make your skin crawl, I was delighted and privileged to be invited to take part in M. Purkiss's book and write small verses to precede each story. What an honour and such fun, too!

Big News!

It’s been a while! So much going on, but in the little world of my writing, I have been busy!

I am very pleased to say that all of my books are now available in paperback! A lot of people have been interested in my writing but don’t go in for Kindle reading, so I hope that now my stories will be more accessible to you, too.

Thank you for all the support, interest and encouragement. Links to all of my books are available via their individual pages here on my website, or just type ‘S P Oldham, Author’ into Amazon and it should take you right to them.

There will be a competition coming up soon, since it’s been a while. Keep checking back and spread the word!

Best Wishes, everyone. Hope you’re all well and happy.

36 copies left - get them while you can! Wakeful Children.

Only 36 copies remaining! Half price (£5) if you enter the code 'Wakeful' at checkout. Get them while you can, because once they're gone, they're gone! UK only.

If you would prefer a signed copy ordered direct from the author there will be an additional small charge to cover p&p.

'Wakeful Children is a collection of highly imaginative and inventive short stories.

The oak sways gently, a shiver shimmers its way from roots to tip. A branch creaks as if in resistance. A small, fresh leaf strains to curl into life, shows promise for an instant, then withers and dies. A sigh, just beyond human hearing, vibrates the night. All else is still.

You will be unwittingly taken on a journey to witness the twisted brutality of Joe Gallows, the weird dream-scape 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. You will visit some of the residents down a darkly troubled street in Absorption; watched over by a beautiful, malignant presence all the while.

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