Publisher's Synopsis
Spoken in Whispers is an anthology of 13 tales to disturb the mind and chill the blood. Written by Andrew Llewellyn and Ian Taylor, illustrated by Selene Paxton Brooks and edited by Darrell Buxton.
"In the classic tradition of the Pan Books of horror, a frightfully good collection of gruesome terror tales in a modern setting... pleasingly seasoned with healthy doses of British humour, thankfully not of the politically correct kind." - Allan Bryce - Editor, Dark Side magazine "In unison, two fresh voices that echo with eeriness, drum a dread beat and dare to explore the dark hinterlands of horror." - Tony Earnshaw - Author, journalist, broadcaster Andrew Llewellyn is a freelance writer whose film essays have appeared in such genre magazines as We Belong Dead, The Fantastic Fifties, The Dark Side, Infinity and Cinema of the '70s. He is also the author of the book 'From Gothic Chills to Cult TV Thrills: The Baker and Berman Story'. Andrew and co-author Ian's involvement with the 'BHF' Books of Horror Stories in recent years influenced them to originate this anthology. After dabbling in horror fiction in the early '90s, Ian Taylor ventured into writing and editing music fanzines. Over the last five years, Ian has become a regular contributor and editorial team member of We Belong Dead magazine, also contributing to all their book releases. This led to writing for other publications such as The Dark Side, The Fantastic Fifties, Halls of Horror and Scream. His first solo book, 'All Sorts of Things Might Happen: The Films of Jenny Agutter' was released in 2021 and received good reviews. Selene Paxton-Brooks is a chaos faerie who lives in a Victorian mansion by the sea. She is a weaver of magic thread who one day picked up a pencil and doodled terrors. She found that the dark images became loved, which made her smile. She hopes to draw some more... but don't be surprised if her creations leave the page and tiptoe deep inside your head. Be aware that her dreams can easily turn into your nightmares if you don't turn the pages quickly enough...
