I started reading and couldn’t stop…” LITTLE BLOG OF HORROR “Consistently very, very strong and it’s got one of the finer wraparound tales you’ll spot in recent release… Like Stephen King, or Clive Barker, there’s simply no telling what the man will deliver in a package of this nature…” HORROR NOVEL REVIEWS “This was one freaky ride…The stories are surprisingly creative and I would often find myself wishing to read faster to get to the twist at the end of each story…”THE AMBER DIARIES “Matt does it again with these mind blowing shorts about Blackwater Heights.

None more so than that of its founding father Horace Whisker. Martin Parcell is an ex-journalist with shattered dreams of an author’s career. Sidelined through a car crash’s injuries, he finds himself forced through governmental austerity measures having to take a custodians position at a private mental health hospital. A writer with undoubted talent, but an author without a story. He begins his new job deep in depression and drowning under waves of his lost dreams. On his first night he meets Jimmy, his elderly supervisor who has spent most of his life within the hospital walls. Jimmy is nearing retirement age and desperate to rest his weary bones. Jimmy offers Martin a way out for both of them, access to the background histories and stories of the hospital’s patients. A collection of 13 tales from the darkly disturbed minds of the residents of Blackwater Heights. As the long night unwinds, Martin finds himself deeply troubled as the tales unfold before him and threaten to drag him down into their insanity.
