Summary

A disused London Underground lift goes way beyond the bottom floor. A psychic boy discovers what terrors are buried in the fallow field. A handshake seals a midnight fate in an old farming dispute. A corpse must be buried by dawn.

Black Gate Tales: Fourteen short stories of dread, hope, death, and wonder.

"Unnerving, beautifully dark and twisted prose...a refreshing but classic voice in horror and fantasy. Much like the rabbit hole, you never know where Paul Draper’s tales will take you and you’re never disappointed." (H.G. Rexon, author of Between the Fog and Shadows: A Historical Fantasy)

"A terrific collection, consistently well-written and full of light, clever touches." (Rober Grossmith, author of The Empire of Lights)
