About this audiobook

From the mind of horror master Garth Marenghi: a masterful multi-volume horror masterpiece thirty years in the making...

Dare you crack open the TerrorTome? (Mind the spine)

When horror writer Nick Steen gets sucked into a cursed typewriter by the terrifying Type-Face, Dark Lord of the Prolix, the hellish visions inside his head are unleashed for real. Forced to fight his escaping imagination - now leaking out of his own brain - Nick must defend the town of Stalkford from his own fictional horrors, including avascular-necrosis-obsessed serial killer Nelson Strain and Nick's dreaded throppleganger, the Dark Third.

Can he and Roz, his frequently incorrect female editor, hunt down these incarnate denizens of Nick's rampaging imaginata before they destroy Stalkford, outer Stalkford and possibly slightly further?

From the twisted genius of horror master Garth Marenghi - Frighternerman, Darkscribe, Doomsage (plus Man-Shee) - come three dark tales from his long-lost multi-volume epic: TerrorTome.

Can a brain leak?
(Yes, it can)

It's a masterpiece of horror fiction, plain and simple. From the moment I cracked the spine I knew new I was onto something special. The stories in Terrortome are some of the most terrifying and gut-wrenching tales ever told, and they'll leave you quaking in your boots. The characters are so rich and vivid, you'll swear they're real. I mean, who can forget the hapless protagonist of "Afterbirth,"? And the monsters! My god, the monsters! From the demonic clowns of "Circus of Blood" to the twisted abominations of "The Thing in the Cellar," these creatures will haunt your nightmares for weeks to come. Of course, Terrortome isn't for everyone. It takes a strong stomach to handle the graphic violence and gore that permeate every page. But if you're a true horror fan, if you're willing to stare into the abyss and embrace the darkness within, then Terrortome is the book for you. In short, Terrortome is a triumph of horror fiction, a book that will scare you to your very core.

Don't expect the same experience as the show but still has the same humour.

About the author

Garth Marenghi was born in the past, graduated from his local comprehensive (now bulldozed) with some O levels in subjects. He taught for nine years at his local library reading group before becoming a full-time horror writer. He has published numerous novels of terror (too numerous to list, nay count), over five hundred short stories, and has edited thirty anthologies of his own work, which have all received the Grand Master of Darkdom Award. He wrote, directed and starred in Garth Marenghi's Darkplace for the Peruvian market, which subsequently aired on Channel 4 and has not been repeated due to its radical and polemic content. He commenced work on TerrorTome during the late 1980s, continued on it alone and unaided by editors throughout the 1990s, and on into the early 2000s, then the mid-2000s, and has only now found a publisher brave enough to unleash its chilling portendings. He is an honorary fellow.
