Binscombe Tales

If we're talking about disturbing and hard-to-define stories, they don't come much weirder and more wonderful than the Binscombe Tales, John Whitbourn's series of exquisitely English creepy stories.

I've been a fan for a long time, right back to before the Binscombe Tales were anthologized in series like The Year's Best Fantasy and the After Midnight books. So I'm really a cat with the cream now that my company Fabled Lands LLP has acquired the licence to publish a collected edition of all twenty-six stories in both paperback and Kindle versions. That's due in time for Halloween, but in the meantime here's a sneak peek at one of the scariest of them: "Waiting For A Bus".
