the tales of terror and torment vol. 1 by david parkinson

Book cover of 'The Tales of Terror and Torment, Vol. 1: Collected Stories' by David Parkinson, featuring a black background with a glowing eye within a triangle and radiating lines.

This quintet of short fiction runs the whole gamut of horror and truly lives up to its name. A violent maniac takes a trip to hell; a couple find themselves at a mind-bending swingers party; the members of an ill-fated space mission tangle with an unseen enemy… With all this and more besides, this stylish, precisely written collection is an absolute must for discerning horror fans.

A skull with text reading "KINGDOM HORROR COLLECTIVE" beneath it, with "KINGDOM" in blue and "HORROR" in red.
This author is such a talent, each tale sinister, gorgeously written, and full of wit and imagination.

This is fresh, unique, unpredictable horror that is at times scary, funny, stomach-turning, heartbreaking, and always engaging.
