David Fox, fast approaching his fortieth birthday, is in the throes of a mid-life crisis—going nowhere, no purpose in life... Until one day, whilst walking on the beach, he comes across a message in a bottle, washed up at his feet.

The message, written in 1953, is from a boy called John Marshall who claims his father is trying to kill him. David feels compelled to find out what happened to the boy all those years ago—and so he sets off to discover the truth. But the truth is more bizarre than anything he could ever have imagined.

His investigations lead him to a secret society, called the Flux, each of whose members has a unique and awesome secret which the Flux holds at its core.

Mon, 19 Nov 2007 09:42:56 +0200

It came from nowhere. The only warning was the endless rumbling of a growing earthquake. Then the water came—crashing, rushing water, covering everything. Destroying everything. When it stopped, all that was left was the gentle lapping of waves against the few remaining buildings rising above the surface of the sea. Will the isolated survivors be able to rebuild their lives, their civilization, when nearly all they knew has been wiped out? It seems hopeless. But what lurks beneath the swirling water, waiting to emerge, is far worse. When the floodwaters finally recede, the true horror will be revealed.

"This rich and masterful collection of horror highlights both up-and-coming and established authors in an interesting twist on the standard anthology [...] Highly recommended for longstanding horror fans and those readers who may not think horror is for them. There is something for everyone in this one." — Booklist
This new anthology contains 20 original horror stories, 16 of which have been commissioned from some of the top names in the genre, and 4 of which have been selected from the 100s of stories sent to Flame Tree during a 2-week open submissions window.
