    About this ebook

    What! No Vampires or Zombies! Something far more original.
    Gripping, hard-hitting Contemporary Horror stories that lie on the edge of what is reality and what is fantasy.
    Following on from the highly successful Volume One this story is taken from Volume Two as a free teaser, entitled
    Doors - a high flying lawyer leaves the family firm he began with to join one of the biggest Law Firms in the World. Will he regret it?

    Each story features a contemporary character (they may remind you of someone you know) who finds themselves in an everyday situation (one that we may all have experienced at some time) that is given a horrific twist. In this volume the stories are as much SciFI/Twilight Zone as Horror, but still guaranteed to scare.
    Suitable for readers age 14 and up.

      And so with a verdict of Not Guilty the defendant is free to leave the court. The judge states at the end of a three week trial.

      Moments later the defendant shakes his lawyer’s hand, a man in his early thirties who has been tipped as one of the high flyers of the future. As he turns to leave the court another man in his thirties calls out to him.

      Josh! You did it! You got him off! Brilliant! How do you do it? You always seem to get what you want. Let’s go celebrate.

      After the usual acknowledgements and handshakes with the defendant and even the opposition’s team of lawyers, they head off to a quaint little pub round the corner, where two more friends are already there.

      This was Josh’s fifth case in a row he had managed to win and he was starting to make a name for himself. He took a moment to check his text messages, a mixed bag.

      Congratulations darling. I’ll be with you in an hour. xxx That was from his latest girlfriend whom he met just over a week ago.

      Congratulations on a brilliant piece of work today. As we discussed earlier we are happy to offer you a junior partnership at Carbottle and Trevis. A job offer from a rival firm of Solicitors, one of the largest not only in the City, but in the world.

      Just to let you know I’m having the locks changed, so if you could pop the keys round. Wishing you all the best. From his ex-girlfriend who had tired of never seeing him and his philandering.

      After reading the messages Josh looked up and said Drinks on me, I’ve been offered a partnership at Carbs, to which there were loud cheers. A lot of his peers looked up to him, were jealous of his tenacity and single-mindedness and his ability to always get what he wanted. Josh would tell them it was just his nature, but the truth was that he had seen the way his father had allowed himself to be swayed by the needs of others, living in a pokey little terraced house next to his invalid grandmother whilst his uncle had gone to University and made a name for himself in the Automotive Industry, travelling the world. His father had told him how Josh’s grandmother had been crippled with Polio when he was just 17 and so had to turn down a University place in order to look after her, but Josh had
