Tha-Thump.

Horror lovers are used to the sound of a heartbeat, be it their own or one piped through a sound system at a critical moment. In this collection, Winchester presents a series of heartbeats-flash fiction tales-that explore the world and the fearsome things within, both human and monstrous.

Your heart will race as a woman hangs a hundred feet from the ground in a lightning storm. It will break at the reason a pair of boys scheme to cheat the tooth fairy. And it will skip a beat as a lot lizard shimmies out of her clothes (before her victim's stops altogether).

These heartbeats and fourteen more are contained within this volume, along with a thought-provoking introduction from Australian Author David-Jack Fletcher. In a world of large-scale horrors, Winchester reduces fear to heartbeats that will thunder in your memory long after the last page.
