Urban Creatures

One of 2020s best six horror short story collections as chosen by tornightfire.com/ 

Urban survival makes creatures of us all. Clamouring for love, terrified of boredom and anxious for success, we fight a futile battle.

​

Primal urges feed the city, stalking its inhabitants. From a psychotherapist gorging on tragedy to a grief-stricken father searching for his daughter's lost soul, humanity’s subterranean secrets and shames are unearthed.

​

Urban Creatures is a quirky collection of dark tales, recounted with wit, imagination and menace.

Half Life should be compulsory reading. It is extremely well written, in clear, strong tones. Half Life is a brilliant story on so many levels and can't fail to engage you. It will make you grateful for the full life you have.
