Chained

A derelict building. The police find forty-two human skeletons... and one man chained to a wall. He is barely alive. He looks helpless, starved and possibly tortured. What happened to him? What did he witness? What is responsible for all the horrors of this house? And what is the reason for the victim's strange, desperate request?

Sergeant Conway meets his Detective Inspector at 512 Bachman Heights. They examine the widespread evidence of horrific carnage and can barely believe what they find. When they speak to the single captive survivor, the mystery deepens and darkens...

Even so, the two veteran cops have no idea of the terrible danger they are now in.

Reviews from this author's horror releases:

"...thoroughly spooky, enticing and well written from start to finish."
"...great... I could feel the fear..."
"...shows true mastery of the short horror story... a wildly imaginative antagonist unlike anything I've read before... a quick, captivating read full of horror and thrills. The tense action and suspense of Glancing Blow make it incredibly hard to put down..."
(Glancing Blow - Short Horror Tales #1)
"...When the blood starts to splatter, Nigel's day gets really rough. Thompson has devised a brilliantly brutal creature to sic on his leading man. Creative and twisted, the monster is a total terror... Hooker is an absolutely insane, blood-pumping ride... With a wicked cool monster and a page-turning climax, this is one Creature Feature you won't want to miss out on..."
(Hooker - Short Horror Tales #2)
"Great short story..."
(Ignition Source - Short Horror Tales #4)
"...well-written, descriptive and enthralling page-turner, that's not for the faint-hearted... The twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat..."
(God Of War)
"...extremely well written and very dark. The author did a great job of creating a palpable sense of doom that surrounds the main character from the beginning, and then creating more tension and horror as the story went on..."
