A scream echoes across a quiet American town. No one knows where it’s coming from – and it never stops. As the hours pass, the scream begins to twist minds, turning neighbour against neighbour in a slow descent into madness.

Late one night on a London rail line, two train drivers make a chilling discovery. But something else is already on board… something that’s moving through the final carriage. And it’s getting closer.

Inside an isolated prison, a ruthless governor forces inmates into a brutal game where losing means suffering. But when one prisoner refuses to break, the balance of power begins to shift – and the true horror is unleashed.

Off the Cornish coast, a sunken ferry hides a dark and ancient secret. When a woman investigates the wreck, she uncovers a terrifying truth: this is no ordinary vessel… but something far older. Something that carries the dead.

From creeping dread to full-blown terror, The Scream, The Tracks, Fifty Fifty, and The Ferry deliver four unforgettable tales of horror, brought together in this revised and re-edited collection from the author of ASYLUM, STEPHEN and THE ANCHORESS.
