    Antony Bennett

    The stories you'll find here vary from the spooky to the downright gruesome, but they all explore how ordinary people react to extraordinary situations. My first published story appeared in the collection "Nightmares 3" after encouragement from the wonderful editor Mary Danby, and after that my stories have appeared in various magazines - Fear, Xenos, Not One of Us, etc. I hope you enjoy reading the tales on offer here (all of them are free to download). And if you do, please contact me through my Facebook page or via Twitter - I'd love to hear from you.
