Traumas

A man suffering from extreme grief finds that pieces of himself are going missing, while another attempts to cheat death in a very unusual and dangerous way…One woman gets more than she bargained for during her pregnancy, while another is the target for a unique killer who must feast to survive…And as one prisoner attempts to escape not only his pursuers but this reality, an unhinged individual attempts to build the perfect family bit by bit…In this collection of thirteen tales from award-winning and #1 bestselling author Paul Kane (the BFA-Nominated Monsters, Before, The Storm), you’ll find every conceivable kind of Body Horror. This very special book also contains Kane’s first published story ‘Façades’, a novelette set in his PL Kane crime universe (Her Last Secret, Her Husband’s Grave) featuring a brand new PI, the scripts for the theatre version of ‘The Torturer’ (recently turned into a short film starring current Pinhead Paul T. Taylor) and the comic adaptation of ‘The Disease’, plus it comes with an introduction by John Llewellyn Probert (The Compleat Valentine, Made for the Dark) and stunning cover art by Les Edwards (Nightbreed, The Thing).Get ready to be traumatised!“Paul Kane is a first-rate storyteller, never failing to marry his insights into the world and its anguish with the pleasures of phrases eloquently turned.” —Clive Barker, Bestselling author of The Hellbound Heart, Abarat, & The Scarlet Gospels
