Let's Drink To The Dead is an ebook-only mini-collection- two longish stories, plus a novelette, set in the Lancashire town of Kempforth during the 1980s.
Kempforth is the setting of my second novel, The Faceless, and the three tales- The Sight, Gideon and How Briefly Dead Children Dream feature a number of characters from the book.
A dour, isolated community, high on the Lancashire hills, where cruelty and abuse have always found dark corners to flourish in. Kempforth is a town full of secrets; in these three tales, you’ll uncover some of them.
A brother and sister discover that escape from their sadistic abusers may come at a terrible price…
A teenage runaway confronts the ghosts of a long-abandoned hospital’s macabre past…
An old woman fights to save two children from a demonic predator…
LET'S DRINK TO THE DEAD
If you've read The Faceless, these stories will hopefully add a little extra texture and background to the novel; if not, this collection will give you something of a taster.
You can download the collection free of charge from Solaris' website, here.
Merry Christmas.
