Infinite Rooms: a gripping psychological thriller that follows one man's descent into madness (20 page)

“Dark and at times shocking the book contains some lovely writing and has a great gothic feel to it. I can recommend this to you and it’s well worth a read if unusual is what you require.”

DAVID REVIEWS

“Here’s a virtual round of applause for the author, who has created an amazingly surreal world where devilry thrives – it’s a hauntingly good read.”

LITTLE BOOKNESS LANE

The turn of the last century and Theodore Stubb’s manor house resides in the quirky village of Muchmarsh. A renowned entomologist, he is often within the attic adding another exotic specimen to his extensive collection of insects. But Theodore is also a master hypnotist, holding the household in thrall to his every whim.

Theodore’s daughter-in-law Eleanor – returned from the sanatorium two months before – is a haunted figure, believing that her stillborn child Alastair lives and hides in the shadows. Then she falls pregnant again, but this time by the hypnotic coercion and wicked ravishment of Theodore. A dreadful act begets terrible secrets, and thirteen years later the boy Alastair Stubb begins to lose his identity….it is not long before mystery, intrigue and murder follow gleefully in his wake.

The Unusual Possession of Alastair Stubb is a gothic terror of the highest order, delivering a dream-like and hallucinatory reading experience that promises to reveal secrets both disturbing and astonishing. Do you dare meet the Stubbs?

“This novella is uniquely written, the mysterious plot is revealed through a series of email conversations between two characters. The story line keeps you intrigued throughout, Highly recommended.”

PETER DRAPER

“I read this novella in one day, as I was intrigued with the story. It was at times unnerving, a tale of fantasy and love, and very entertaining. The author has a very vivid and wild imagination. He described the scenes so well, I could picture, taste, and feel everything before me. It's written via a series of emails between Stella and Audrey, plus diary entries. It was a most enjoyable read!”

The novella
: Dogs are reported for their constant barking … and so begins one of the strangest stories you will ever read.

Audrey Ackerman, sent to visit the dogs at a 17th century coach house, is unsettled by paranormal sightings.

Stella Bridgeport – manager at The Animal Welfare Union – communicates with Audrey via emails. And those Stella receives are as startling as they are incredible: descriptions of extraordinary events concerning a science fiction writer’s journal; giant swans; bizarre android receptionist; a ghost dog.

Insanity or fantasy? Fact or fiction? The only given is, it all starts and ends with two dogs at The One Dog Inn.

...and other stories
