THE SOCIETY
A grand house by the sea-
Quinn Bergman has accepted the gift of a lifetime, an invitation to stay at an exclusive retreat for troubled writers.
Chyanvean House sits atop a stunning Cornish cliff -- the perfect place to reconnect and overcome writers' block.
The retreat of your dreams-
There must be something in the air, as the words begin to flow. The course is nothing short of miraculous. But one day, when Quinn visits the local village pub, the mere mention of the house raises concern among the close-knit locals. Why are they scared? Chyanvean House is just a sanctuary for artists – or is it? As soon as Quinn steps inside room 157, he can never leave.
Welcome to The Programme For Better Living.
We cannot wait to welcome you.
THE CROWS OF SMITH'S BOOTH
On the Winter’s Solstice of 1569, the villagers of Smith’s Booth hang three of sisters, accused of witchcraft. Their mother curses the village before stepping into their funeral pyre, while the sheriff spares Calena, the fourth and youngest of the sisters, placing her into The Church’s care.
Three hundred years later, the Archer family return in search of their sister’s corrupt soul and the family’s ancient grimoire.
On the same night, Victoria Wellsby comes of age, receiving a pendant that belonged to her dead mother. By Christmas Day, she will discover her twin sister and her family’s terrible secret. Heartbreak and loss will throw her into the centre of an age-old battle of Good v Evil.
And all the while, the crows will be watching.
“Your deeds of this day will cast a shadow long into your tomorrows!”
ARCHITECTURE
The homeless are being taken from the streets of the city; when she wakes in the morning to find herself painted red it sends Gabriel Travente on a journey to discover herself…
There are ceremonies and rites which occur at various times in the world’s history, and they have the power to change the course of everything we accept to be true. Times when the esoteric meets the rational in a struggle for supremacy and ultimate dominion of the world. These ceremonies are bloody affairs, filled with debauchery.
The Architecture is only one.
We are the design … we are the flesh …we are sanctified.
WHISTLING PAST
THE GRAVEYARD
​
A hilltop cemetery where the dead just won’t stay sleeping. An ill-fated voyage to an uncharted region off the coast of Iceland. An English village reminded of its heritage through the discovery of ancient bones.These tales and more can be found within the first short story collection from author Lex H Jones. Light the fire, make yourself a comforting drink, make sure the doors and windows are lined with salt, and settle in to enjoy this gathering of haunts and horrors.
Lex Jones’ writing definitely has an air of those classic master storytellers – like James, Hodgson and Blackwood – about it, but make no mistake he’s a true modern original. His characterisation is spot on, the tales he tells make you think, and horror leaves you chilled. What more could you ask for? I see a bright future ahead for him, so get on board with his fiction now!
Paul Kane, award-winning and bestselling author of Before, Sherlock Holmes and the Servants of Hell and Arcana.

In Whistling Past the Graveyard, Lex H. Jones takes the reader's hand and leads them down a darkened path beset by Jamesian supernatural terrors and folk horror nightmares.

THE CHILDREN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE GARDDEN
At the edge of the coastal city of Seadon, behind a dilapidated farmhouse surrounded by rotten trees, something titters and calls.
The Gardden.
Its playful voice promises games, magic, wonders, lies – and roaring torrents of blood.
The Gardden speaks not only to its eccentric keeper, but also to the deviants of Seadon’s criminal underworld: a restless goth, a cheating waster, a sullen concubine, a perverted drug baron, and a murderous sociopath.
Haunted by shadowed things with coal-black eyes, they’ll soon be lured to a place where nightmares become flesh, secrets rise from the dark, and a voice coaxes them to play and stay, yes yes yes, forever.
