Bøker av Thomas Stewart

This collection is a visceral depiction of the difficult love between a father and son and what happens when that love is lost. In his debut, Thomas Stewart examines the death of his father whilst exploring questions of grief, guilt, mental health, identity, sexuality and masculinity.

In 1992, Young Mortimer Drake, age 11, had his first birthday party. After killing his parents and "making his first cake", he is sentenced to psychiatric detention - only for him to escape in the night. In but a year's time following that fateful day, a new, and far more horrific body count begins to rise. No one knows the identity of the slayer - except as "The Birthday Butcher", who appears to kidnap at least 25-30 victims at a time; each of whom were found mutilated in various ways. For ten years, the deranged slasher's reign of terror ravaged the town of Harlandville, New York. And each time, no one could ever find or bring him to justice. Could he be stopped, and if so, will the city ever be the same? These are the collection of notes, headlines, and audio recordings of the madman's vicious acts of depravity.

The compulsion to kill is one that is as old as mankind itself. What, though, is it that actually drives this compulsion? Is it lust? Rage? Are we just evil to the core...Or is it that murder is just another form of expression, such as these thirteen chilling tales, where killing is but a beautiful form of art, and the victims are but mere canvasses...

Within this accursed tome lies an unlucky 13 chilling tales to send an everlasting chill down your spine. From horrifying whispers from damned spirits, to killer forests and haunted lakes, to cursed children's toys and possessed video games, and even sinister family members who are true monsters, hidden in human skin; these gospels of horror are sure to always rob you of a peaceful slumber...

"...So for the love of God, please, use that sense of yours and don't go chasing things that weren't meant to be chased." The mountains of a small town in North Carolina can be a terrifying and mysterious place. What lies within those mountains, however, is nothing short of horrific. Such is the case for Roy who, growing up in this town, heard of the legends of the mountains and of its resident boogeyman: the terrifying "Pig Man". Who or what this creature exactly was was a question that for so long could only be speculated as none who'd ever ventured out of the mountains would ever return. When he returns, however, Roy learns of a small girl who went missing there, and haunted by his own conscience, cannot bring himself to turn away. Alongside his cousin, Stacy, Roy embarks on the suicidal venture into the mountains, where he'll find out firsthand if the legends were just that, tall tales passed around a small town for too long, or if perhaps the "Pig Man" really does lord over the mountains...

For ages, man has looked in awe and terror to the beyond, to that which he cannot see or hear. The question has always remained the same, but none know it's answer. Within this tome, however; whether it's the unseen boundaries of the veil, the boundaries of a mirror, or even simply the noises from under your floor, behind a freezer door, or the other end of a phone call, are 19 gospels that answer the age-old question; what lies on the other side?
