Book Description
Three tales of terror combined for the first time...Jo M. Thomas provides a future diary that foretells of a family tragedy which hasn't happened yet. Michael S. Collins gives us a killer dead fisherman wrecking havoc on a pleasure cruise down the River Clyde. Jon Arnold solves the Brexit issue by going all Dario Argento. Other Side Books prevents a tribute to the old Hammer Horror portmanteau films.Standing by the door, dripping water across the floor of the loos, was Grant, beckoning over to the former trawler man."But you're dead!" said Larsson.The Captain took a step forward. Larsson looked away from his face."You shouldn't be here!" said Larsson. "Ghosts don't exist!"The Captain took another step forward. Larsson thought of his family, back in Vyborg. "Stop it!" said Larsson. "Go away. I'm warning you. People know I'm here."The Captain took another step forward.In the loos, no one can hear you scream, if something can play tricks on peoples hearing. Larsson screamed, but all William and Andy could hear, waiting by the bar, was the sound of a barking dog, down the street. Moreover, the more Larsson screamed, the more all they could hear was the dog.After ten minutes, William became concerned that the 'fishing chap' hadn't returned from the loos. However, he assumed, as you would, that Larsson had merely taken the free drink and done a runner. Therefore, William had another drink, and wandered off home to say good morning to his wife. It was five minutes after William left, that the local priest popped in for his gin and tonic, and excused him to go to the toilet, and shrieked upon seeing the bloodless, quite dead, body of the Scandinavian trawler man. Death didn't come to the village that often, murder less so, and yet another Alistair crewmember was gone. Michael S. Collins was born in a building since demolished in a universe thankfully still standing. Getting older by the day, he has been writing for a decade, and was formerly a Fortean Times book reviewer. Michael lives in Glasgow and edits Other Side Books, but has no pet llama...yet.Jon Arnold was the co-editor of Shooty Dog Thing: 2th and Claw. His work has appeared in books including Shooty Dog Thing, both Outside In volumes, Time Unincorporated 3, the You and Who series, Shelf Life, The Twelve Doctors of Christmas, Terrors of the Theatre Diabolique as well as in innumerable fanzines and on websites such as The Two Unfortunates and Winterwind Productions. He's also an occasional contributor to the Reality Bomb podcast. I think he might be a Doctor Who fan, but he rarely mentions this. Current projects include his proofreading business and collaborating on radio scripts. Jon previously wrote a book on Euro 2016 for Other Side Books, and contributed to The Second Christmas Book of Ghosts.When not being an acclaimed fantasy writer, Jo M. Thomas is a fencer with the Academie Glorianna. Her previous novels include The Knight's Daughter, 25 Ways to Kill A Werewolf, A Pack of Lies and Fool If You Think It's Over. She was also a contributor to The Second Christmas Book of Ghosts, and is currently writing her second novel for Other Side Books.
