MOVIE EDITION: INCLUDES ORIGINAL STORY & SCREENPLAY WARNING: THIS IS AN EXTREME HORROR NOVEL. There is gore. There is bad language. There are scenes of a sexual nature. There are scenes of domestic abuse. But hidden underneath it all is also a chilling story. Please do not purchase this book if you are easily shocked, disgusted or offended. This book is not for you. Teaming up together for the first time since 'ART', Michael Bray (Whisper) and Matt Shaw (Sick B*stards) bring you MONSTER; the haunting tale of a normal woman who wakes up to find herself part of a nightmare. "He's there, standing in the doorway. Seven foot tall, a face hidden beneath a mask of stretched, rotting skin. He isn't saying anything. He's just watching me, his head cocked to one side as though judging me. I pulled on the restraints but they didn't budge. I was trapped. I was his prisoner. I asked him what he wanted but he just repeated my sentence in a childish voice. I asked him for a second time and, for a second time, he repeated me. When I screamed, he screamed, raising his hands to his ears and closing his eyes as though my panicked yelling scared him. Who is he? What does he want with me? I begged for him to let me go and he responded by repeating me - again - word for word. Frustrated I started screaming. He turned and ran from the room. He didn't go far though. I can hear him out there. I can hear his heavy, wheezy breathing. A couple of seconds went by and he stuck his head around the corner. He didn't move from that spot. He just stood there, watching me once more."
A drabble is a work of fiction where the word count is exactly 100 words (not including the title). Presented in this collection are over 60 drabbles from the dark mind of Matt Shaw. Some are inspired by his previous titles and some entirely new and as fresh as rotting flesh can be. With illustrations from artist Janine Van Moosel, this collection has it all: from the romantic, to the psychological, to the very extreme... And, if that weren't enough - there are a number of published shorts too, along with the splatter-punk nominated story "Melvin". This is Matt Shaw's dark and twisted answer to Tim Burton's "The Melancholy Death Of Oyster Boy". Please note: Despite the fun, child-like cartoons - this is NOT suitable for those under the age of 15 PRAISE FOR THE AUTHOR "There is a ferocity about Matt Shaw's writing that is both welcome and also necessary when it comes to horror." - Shaun Hutson, author of "Slugs"

She hopes that - one day - she can be forgiven. She hopes that - one day - she will be freed. * * * * * Three characters, one storyline told through their eyes...

The Island Ten contestants were sent to a deserted island in the Pacific Ocean, where they'd be left to fend for themselves for a number of weeks, as part of a new reality television show. After a quick weekend learning basic survival skills, these people were dumped on the island's shoreline with basic rations, basic tools and equipment they could use to document their journey. Also tucked in the supplies were radios with which to communicate with the show's producers if they needed evacuation at any point. The purpose of the show was simple: See if modern man and woman still had the skills to survive away from the comforts every day life now provided them... ... But when things go wrong they quickly learn that they're very much alone and part of a much, much darker reality television program. From the makers of ""The Game.".".
He is chained to her through his own choice. She is chained to him through no choice of her own. A thick chain linking the two of them together by their ankles and kept in place with heavy-duty locks. She knows why she is there. He has explained that once - and only once. Each subsequent time she asks, he simply tells her that she knows the reason. She knows there is no way out until he says so. For a time of his choosing, she is his prisoner and that is all there is to it. Yet - for the two of them - things could have been so, so different.
When Craig's uncle passes away, he didn't shed a tear. The pair hadn't spoken for a couple of years now after a family row and - with that in mind - Craig didn't bother to attend the funeral. However, soon after, he is cornered by his uncle's solicitor with some unexpected news. Despite the pair not speaking, Craig had been left his uncle's house. At first Craig believed it to be a generous gift and, perhaps, a way of saying sorry from beyond the grave but he soon realises all is not as it seems and the house is less a gift and more a curse...WARNING: Whilst there are strong psychological elements within this book, there are also extreme scenes of a sexual nature and strong violence.

His music brings joy to thousands. His death will bring joy to millions... Time to splatter the punk.Nate Nasty is the lead singer in one of the biggest punk bands currently working the circuit. His stage antics were over-the-top and downright dirty but - off stage - he was something else entirely. With reports of his lewd and obnoxious behaviour being reported in the papers, on a near weekly basis, he had earned the reputation as one of the biggest hell-raisers on the music scene today. But how much of it was true and how much of it had been sensationalised? There was only one way to know for sure; Carolyne would have to interview him for herself. Are the reports coming out about him true or is there more to his story to tell?

The night skies turned blood red as the largest asteroid, ever to pass the Earth, slipped between us and the Moon. Thousands of people flocked to the streets to see what was pushed by the press as a "once in a lifetime" occurrence. Some people hailed it as a sign for the End Of Days. Others simply partied the night away; celebrating the fact that mankind had barely survived being destroyed in the same way as the dinosaurs. The women though... Something else happened to the women...
