'The writing is immensely visual, hauntingly gentle and spine-chilling in equal measure. Bewitching and erotic. What a heady mix of emotions!'

So writes Caroline Munro in her introduction to this nerve-shredding collection by William Jackson, the new master of gay horror who strikes at the heart of the reader's deepest fears, then twists his pen.

With their deserted lanes and isolated cottages, wolfish men and vampire vixens, his wicked tales have been described as 'Hammer Horror for the 21st Century'.

Shapes in the Dark is published on 25 October 2021 in an original paperback edition by Martin Firrell Company Ltd.
