Fear - the next collection of horrifying stories in Vincent Powley's Phobia books.
From cursed Christmases to Hell on Earth, these three stories continue Vincent Powley's Phobia collections.
And the Bells Ring Out for the One
At Christmas, a village northeast of Catchoak celebrate by festooning their streets with glittering decorations. An ancient hand-made Father Christmas is their statement piece, sat under the bells of the church. But there is a deadly secret to this wooden old man in a beard and hat: when candles are lit and a song sung of Silent Night, the sound of an oak stump dragging bodies echoes under the moon. Father Christmas is coming...and you're on his list.
Grandmother's Clock
Roy Hill's family have a legend of a clock. His grandmother often said to never turn the key and wind it up. Never! So when she passes away, Roy sets out on a mission to rebuild the clock she had split up before she died. Although finding the parts is easy, what Roy doesn't expect is what the clock hides within its cogs and what monster it unleashes once the key is turned.
Hell's Gut
Emmett Stellkey is at a loss. After the incident at Hilmere Lake and the subsequent flood, he is put on leave from his job as a coroner to reflect on his mental stability. When an old friend and policeman Christopher Torres shows up to offer him an intriguing case to give an opinion on, Stellkey can't resist. But after seeing three men in a serious state of comatose shock, and hearing about the horror they have endured, isn't enough, it appears their connection is not linked to anything the men have... But by the small numbers burned into their eyes.
