Horror author Nick Steen is having visions… A sinister Black Steeple; eerie lights in the sky that look like a Catherine wheel but are not remotely a Catherine wheel… Plus a giant skeleton with a moustache. Are they omens? Auguries? Portenderings of things to come? (Spoiler - yes, they are).

Garth Marenghi

For Nick Steen’s imagination is bursting out of his brain and threatening to burst in turn the entirety of Stalkford.

“So dense with brilliant jokes that it cannot safely be read while drinking hot liquid”
- Inews.co.uk
“puts the ‘boo’ into book tour"
- The Guardian
“had the crowd hooting and hanging, insatiably, on every line.”
- The Telegraph

Can Nick stop the aforesaid bursting? Or have things already slightly burst regardless? And will there ultimately be a grand finale to this three-book series (aka a trilogy) or a more open-ended conclusion in order to leave potential room for further sequels? (That, btw, will ultimately be Garth’s decision.)

From the fevered imaginata of Horror Fiction’s Grand Frightener Garth Marenghi, author of Sunday Times-Bestselling Garth Marenghi’s TerrorTome and Garth Marenghi’s Incarcerat, come three freshly rancid tales of…

THIS BURSTED EARTH…*
