An ill-fated expedition doomed by the wrath of nature and powerful evil; this is Stephen King written in James Rollins' blood. But the wicked ending? That's all Clark."

STONE COLD CALLING takes you on a wildly imaginative ride from page one, masterfully twisting and turning and still never going the direction you think it might. Part Indian legend, part treasure hunt, part ancient mystery, but 100% Simon Clark at his horrific best. Wow! I stone cold loved it! Gord Rollo, author, THE JIGSAW MAN and LOST IN TRANSLATION “The web of fear, tension and paranoia Simon Clark spins in STONE COLD CALLING is so palpable it’s unnerving.  And like all good webs, by the time you realize you’ve been caught in it, you’re already doomed.  A page-turner from the start, this tightly written and highly entertaining tale is a testament to Clark ’s skills as a master storyteller, and a must-have for anyone who enjoys exciting and expertly crafted horror fiction. STONE COLD CALLING is one call you really need to answer.”    --Greg F.

Whenever I see that tell-tale streak of fire in the sky I can't help but wonder what journey the meteor has been on. Even in my dreams I imagine finding a strike site of one of these amazing stars - but I've still to find one. Tasmaniac, however, have found a way of making my dream come true." The lettered edition (leather-bound and slip-cased), signed by Simon, Kealan and Vince will come with their own authentic piece of meteorite. Review If you’re a fan of horror fiction then Simon Clark will need no introduction. If you’re new to the scene, and his work, then all I need say is that this prolific author has been delivering the disturbing goods since his debut novel Nailed By The Heart in 1995, a zombie siege story set by the coast. But Clark has also produced his fair share of shorter work and is well known for short stories and novellas which run at a cracking pace (The Dalek Factor and She Loves Monsters to name but two).             Here we have another foray into these forms. The titular novella revolves around a meteorite which crashed out in the US wilderness near Prospect Hill back in the 1940s, witnessed by a Native American with psychopathic tendencies. Flash forward to the present day, and we join a bunch of young meteorite hunters lead by the appropriately-named Stoner. Seeking their fortune – as even the tiniest amount of meteorite rock can contain diamonds – they dig up the big rock, while the thunderous weather and flooding turns against them. But the meteor contains a dangerous evil, connected with that Native American, who’s now returned to the site. And as the group become increasingly cut off they soon find themselves battling for survival.             In a unique experiment, a companion story ‘The Calling’ (itself verging on novella length) will be published as part of an e-package. In this we’re reintroduced to that Native American myth, The Wendigo, as the spirit lays siege to an out of the way military base known only as ‘Brass Ear’, now manned and protected by civilians. As the weather this time grows colder and colder, there’s definitely more than just a chill in the air.  The package, which comes out the same day as the hard copy novella, also contains the non-fiction article, ‘Make Me Frightful’ (a personal piece by the author in which he encourages other would-be horror authors with several expert tips) plus a short video, ‘The Haunted Page’, shot by Simon.              These stories examine the darkest depths of cosmic terror in their own different ways, but they also bring it down to a human (often violent) level. Highly recommended for any devout horror devotee, the novella is available in paperback or signed limited edition lettered hardback (complete with your very own piece of meteor rock), introduced by respected horror writer Kealan Patrick Burke.   -From Uk author and noted reviewer Paul Kane.      We accept reservations without prepayment for forthcoming books.
