Ghosts in a Desert World

Horror writer Michael Richards is disturbed from his daily grind by blood dripping from the ceiling, which steadily worsens. Soon, the blood becomes Michael’s personal metaphor in a battle of denial.When a compulsive gambler is forced to seek out a loan shark rooted in myth, he discovers the dark saviour teaches more to his pupils than deliverance from debt.Trapped within a room of sinister dolls, an average man is forced to confront his very worst fears … and quickly learns staring into the abyss does not grant you a reprieve from them.Interweaving horror into socially relevant spiritual and philosophical themes, GHOSTS IN A DESERT WORLD is the debut collection from Australian author Matthew Tait.
