STEP INTO THE WORLD OF THE DARK MAN: PLEASE HAVE YOUR REFERRAL READY…
An abused child encounters the local legendary boogeyman, and finds himself querying the definition of ‘monster’…
Two time-travellers observe The Crucifixion, and discover a horror far beyond the brutality of the event itself…
An inhuman predator establishes its feeding ground in a small rural town—but does it have competition…?
In this collection, representing the darker work of award-nominated author Chuck McKenzie, you’ll find tales of zombies, kaiju, and alien invaders; of visits to Hell, and to quiet suburban streets; of Lovecraftian entities and spectral terrors. And other, far less pleasant tales than these…

Dion –
This was an outstanding collection, and I loved every story.
I loved the combination of creepy and uniquely Australian dry humour, it is a bit like Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark by Alvin Schwartz, which would make it an excellent introduction to horror for young adults or teens, or if you want something a bit lighter and fun, without it being too basic or child like.
This book is a great mix of unique stories, all completely different from each other, with well-developed relatable characters (I think is you have ever worked in retail you have had a customer like the one in Retail Therapy)
Some of my favourites were, Confessions of a Pod Person, which is like Invasion of the Body Snatchers from the point of view of the body snatchers, but after the invasion fails, Retail Therapy, about an extremely annoying customer, Bad Meat is an interesting take on a zombie story, The Shadow Over Bexley was like a Lovecraft story meets a olds men’s club, and finally Howler, about a werewolf being abducted by un knowing aliens, (I really wish this story was longer)
If you love a bit of fun with your horror, than you will love this book!
Highly recommend.
