Kathy Jenkins has had enough of life. Her long-term boyfriend is now tucked up in her best friend's bed, her offices closed down and her apartment sold off from underneath her. Her father, now in the final throws of cancer, lies in a hospice bed as the last reminder of a family long since lost or broken. Following her father's funeral, with the bite of Winter coming into the old neighbour where she has spent the last twenty-seven years of her life, she decides enough is enough.
Hume promises much. It is quiet, quaint, and peaceful. Surrounded by woodland, with nothing but nature and the quiet of your own mind. Settled into the new place, Kathy soon finds that old haunts don't always get left behind. The gradual reappearance of an old sleep paralysis demon, known only as The Gangly Man, sends Kathy into a dark and dangerous world where only the strongest will survive.
The Gangly Man is a demon, an entity of fear and hate. It lives to destroy, to crush and to maim. Death comes wherever The Gangly Man appears. And as the nights pass by, he comes closer...and closer.

Jigsaw
On her sixteenth birthday, Helen finds a strange, evil house in the centre of deep dark woods. Within that house, Helen finds a jigsaw puzzle that must be solved at all costs. Forced to confront disturbing events from her past, Helen's fear grows as she sees something in the puzzle picture that she instinctively knows is not of this world, and that it is something to be feared. EXTRACTS: As the fire reached the Guy, flames lapping quickly over his legs, his body, Helen thought she heard a scream of terror; a scream that seemed to come more from his dark, pleading eyes than from his mouth. The Guy was alive. She tried to tell her parents, but her throat was clogged with horror and fear. ...what a horrible sensation it must be to have your warm white bone, which had been shielded from the cold by flesh and blood, suddenly thrust out of you into the freezing winter air. Helen almost vomited when she saw steam rising from the wound. She wanted to scream...to scream so loud that she knew if she did, her own scream would frighten her all the more. She wanted to run from this house...but her legs would not move because she knew - somehow just knew - that if she ran, something would come out of the house...and it would come after her...and it would catch her... Lizzy was seven years old today, all done up in a pretty white dress and perfectly done pigtails...and then Lizzy called out, "Watch this!" as she came out of the kitchen door with a huge knife that glinted so brightly in the afternoon sun, and was, somehow, very ugly. And then Helen discovered what ugly really was... A tense, disturbing story where, for Helen, unease turns to steadily rising dread, and, eventually, to primal fear and sheer terror.Complete

Madeline Curtis, a runaway from small town in Washington, finds herself in the streets of Hollywood looking for a place to stay when she encounters a strange hooded man. In less than a second poor Madeline's entire life was flipped upside down and she is determined to find the monster that caused it all. ----------------------------- Maybe it was the way all of their hearts beat in synchronization or the bulging veins that popped out of their hands as they did their work. Somehow, some way, without the normal supervision and the taste of human blood I'd gotten just an hour ago, I broke my streak of leaving the humans to rest freely, and I killed them all. "Madeline." I announced to the crowd, at least they'd know the name to their killer when I pierced my teeth into their bodies, their bodies running cold due to the lack of blood. "Maddy?" A sadly familiar voice said from the front door. When I didn't respond he stepped closer and used his thumb to tilt my head back to look at him. I couldn't make out if it was disappointment or sadness when he looked at the remains of the human boy lying in front of me, no chance of life inside of him. "Oh, Madeline." he sighed. ----------------------------- !
