There is something quite special about this fine collection of tales of terror from the Sceptered Isle, each and every one crafted in the dead of the night by twisted, fevered minds, who have brought the darkest denizens of the blackest shadows crawling and slithering to life to terrify those brave souls amongst you who dare to listen.

The places in this book are shunned, abandoned, and forgotten. They do not exist, and yet here you will find the stories of people who have gone and survived to tell their tales. These are the postcards from the void, frightful evidence of places that should not be, and yet exist in our nightmares. Should you dare to venture into these blighted places, remember: Don't talk to strangers, don't stray far from home, and never, ever go in alone.

Samson Valentine is the best private eye ever to wear a fedora - or at least he was, before he became a washed-up booze hound.

Before he's too sure of what's going on, he's swept up in the biggest case of his life. The mob will do anything to get its gemstone back, and they prove it when Sam's friend turns up dead. Now it's personal, and Sam sets out on a one-man mission to take down the Welsh crime syndicate.

The year is 2082 - the not-so-distant future - and Chinatown is a prison. One hundred years ago, between 1980 and 1990, hardcore arcade gamers, cinemagoers, TV freaks, and comic book nerds took over the large oriental area and turned it into a no-go zone. The streets became violent, corrupt, and the powers that be lost control. A large wall and river were constructed around the city; the waters were filled with sharks and patrolled by the government’s secret police, who had more artillery than Rambo.

Within this tome lies 18 tales of mind-bending terror, as Hughes delves into the human psyche and dishes out stories of what becomes of the broken-minded, spirited, and downright irked. Part this blood-drenched audio at your own peril, for you will find diseased minds geared towards revenge and bloody chaos, with a few twists, turns, and surprises thrown in for good measure.
