This collection of eighteen gay horror stories
is a dark and deadly chocolate box of demons,
psychopaths, devil dogs and werewolves. Jackson’s characters are at one time
deadly and seductive,
inhabiting an ominous landscape of isolated cottages and deserted country lanes.
'The writing is immensely visual, hauntingly gentle and spine-chilling in equal measure.
Bewitching and erotic. What a heady mix of emotions!'
So writes Hammer horror star Caroline Munro in her introduction to these nerve-shredding tales
In ‘Out of Water’, a lonely man befriends a beautiful boy who is not all that he
seems. In 'My Funny Valentine’, a famous model and her lesbian vampire lover find
themselves the victims of blackmail. And in ‘Forbidden’, a 1950s gay couple are
targeted for execution.
Spanning the period from the 1950s to the present day, Shapes in the Dark takes
the reader on a rollercoaster journey through a shadowy world of mermen, demon
dogs, handsome werewolves, murderous gay couples, puritanical homophobes and mad
scientists.
