A stunning debut from Shane Briant
A new era in horror fiction begins with 'Worst Nightmares', the electrifying debut novel from Shane Briant.
With its combination of powerful new ideas, cracking pace and vivid descriptions, this highly original, cleverly plotted and genuinely disturbing story takes the horror genre into a completely new direction.
The actual premise is fascinating in itself: a best-selling author, suffering from writer's block, receives an unsolicited diary - a different kind of diary - which introduces The Dream Healer; a sadistic killer who lures his victims to a variety of terrible deaths via his website. By methods inventive and alarming The Dream Healer seduces his victims into revealing their innermost fears and then manifests those same nightmares upon them.
Realising the diary's huge commercial potential, the author, Dermot, begins a dark quest to research the individual stories only to discover that both the killings and the killer are only too real. Disregarding this grim reality the desperate author reworks the murders into a best-selling book, with devastating results.
This thrilling debut novel does exactly what it says on the cover. It's a real edge-of-the-seat experience containing some of the most powerful prose since the age of Edgar Allen Poe and H.G.Wells. More readable than Stephen King, more suspenseful than James Herbert and more frightening than anything from the pen of Denis Wheatley, Shane Briant's 'Worst Nightmares' is the most important horror story of the 21st century.
