From ancient curses kept alive in internet chat-rooms to malevolent children's TV characters acquiring lives of their own, Phobic shines a torch into the unlit areas of the modern subconscious and suggests the more we know, the more we realise how worried we really should be.

Phobic Summary

Phobic: Modern Horror Stories by Andy Murray

Twenty emerging British authors are featured in this anthology of short stories that celebrates imagination and daring in writing. The themes of these works push the limit of the traditional short story form and simultaneously offer isolated moments of truth. Characters range from world-smashing behemoths to role-playing plush toys to a man forced to reckon with a mysterious briefcase. Offering a snapshot of the next generation of British literature, this collection will amuse and astound.

Phobic Reviews

Reasserts and cherishes the short story form's ingrained oddness, its unique kind of drama and its potential to surprise. --Independent on Sunday A treasure trove....From the first earth-shattering story 'Testicular Cancer vs The Behemoth, ' in which terminal illness collides with a literally world-smashing monster, to the enigmatic 'Road, ' where a man struggles for help with a mysterious briefcase, this book is a true rarity. --Aethetica Magazine Takes readers on nail-biting adventures... vital and imaginative. --Big Issue
