Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Born in 1959, and preferring not to think too hard about it, Neil Davies writes genre fiction (mostly science fiction and horror, but he refuses to be held to that). When not writing books, he records music with his son as The 1850 Project, and paints pictures of dubious artistic merit with acrylic paints. When not creating, he likes to read books, listen to music and watch subtitled Scandinavian Noir (it started with Wallander and never stopped - and yes, he's read the books too). A solitary animal by nature, he nevertheless lives with his long-suffering wife, two adult children and a cat. It's just possible the cat is the sanest one of them all. For more information please visit his official website - http://www.nwdavies.co.uk, or find him on Facebook (nwdavies), Twitter (@nwdavies), Instagram (nwdavies) and many other social networks.

2.0 out of 5 stars Cheap price - cheap stories !
Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2012

I expected a book with short horror- or mystery-stories and I was looking forward to read this book but I get a book with mainly - no... only - boring short stories. No mystery, no horror, no thrill. It's a compilation of short stories from different authors - previously or first published. The only two positive things to say about this book: the cheap price and the shortness of the stories.

It's a compilation of short stories about the ancient egyptian god Seth, a blood-thirty Santa Clause, a man who wants to get rid of his murdered wife, ... This is not the time to make a summery of all the stories. But there is one point that every single story has in commen with all the other stories. At the end there is a little twist, so nothing is what it seems to be.

But none of the authors is able to make more out of their good ideas. Sure, all stories have a good or average beginning but the twist, the unexpected end, just expands in the last paragraph and then the story ends... disappointing and after the third or fourth short story only boring. You will not find out why Santa is blood-thirty, why the husband murdered his wife or a deadly curse lay on the daughter of his neigbors. But these have to be the main contents to understand the stories. All the ends are to short, so you are hardly able to imagine what creepy acts could follow, even if the authors don't write about them.

I think this is a compilation of stories you could read, if you want to know how you should not write a story. I give two stars for some of the good ideas in the stories.

P.S. 23.05.2012:
All stories are from the same author; I don't know why I wrote they are from different authors. Anyway, that will not make this book any better.

4.0 out of 5 stars Far from boring!! like a box of mini twisters!
Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2012
This is a book of short stories by the same author. Only read one other novel by him "Raised in Evil" and loved it... so thought I would try this, I was not disappointed.
The Box: an eery reflection of the "tell tale heart" but with a modern twist that you just dont see coming!

The Pathological Good Samaritan: very short but scary stuff. A whole new world opens up in one amazing sentence.

Halloween: my favourite holiday! May take some advice from this lovely old lady on how to decorate my house next time - very smirk worthy!

The Sarcophagus: Brilliantly written, just enough tension and information to make you think you know whats about to happen... quite a fab ending!

Christmas: amazing in its yuckiness.

Conversation: nice little yarn with a harsh ending, clever use of a first line. (you need to read the blurb at the beginning to get this!)

The Killing Tree: the formatting is a bit out on this bit of the book (changes fonts a few times for no apparent reason) but dont let that distract you from a great ghosty story.

Halloween #2 (young at heart): not sure a horror story should make me giggle but this did - revenge is definitely sweet.

The Cleansing: dropped into a new world of sci-fi horror, another told you so story... gives you a righteous feeling that doesn't quite sit right.

Christmas #2 (2years to the day): gives a good sense of paranoia, really gives you the willies... my cat jumped on the sofa next to me and I yelped!! brilliant, if sad, ending.

The Ward on the Hill: good story until the end when its left to your imagination.
Like all the stories in this book, a lot of stuff is left for you to ponder over and imagine with just a little nudge from the author in the scary direction.... but this just left me hanging which I didn't like.

Love this authors style, great descriptions of weird, spooky places, gruesome enough to get the taste buds tingling!
