X6 is the latest collection of short fiction from the author of Sker House and The Wretched Bones, featuring ten terrifying and thought-provoking tales taken from the pages of 34 Orchard, Every Day Fiction, The Quiet Reader, and the genre-defining anthologies Handmade Horror, Welcome to the Splatterclub, Brewtality, and Burnt Fur, among others.
Meet the young lovers forced into a suicide pact, the bar worker who thinks he has been serving a ghost, and the traveller haunted by a child’s chilling cries. Along the way witness a Tinder date go all kinds of wrong, an urban legend spring to life, and a hardcore drinker find a foreign object in his beer can, which is only the start of his problems.
Also includes author’s notes and exclusive cover art by Bram Stoker Award-nominated artist Greg Chapman.
