Whispers - often unheard and sometimes misinterpreted. They make people uncomfortable and anxious. They can spread innocent words and they can infect the mind with hatred and lies. They can be a sign of secrecy or a symptom of utter madness… From Stuart Keane comes a second collection of short horror stories. Featuring a foreword from Mark Parker, Whispers - Volume 2 brings you eight horrific tales. This is terror experienced by ordinary people in ordinary circumstances, when their mundane lives spiral out of control and become something a little more sadistic. In this second collection of horrific tales, we meet: Two hapless teenagers out for a drive who discover a terrifying secret, a psychopath on a rampage, whose bloody thirst for vengeance takes an unusual and sickening turn, several humans who see their lives thrown into violent turmoil when animals turn on the entire human race, an abused wife who takes an ill-advised stand against her power-hungry husband, a lesbian couple who are ripped apart by a flesh eating illness, a Vietnam veteran with vivid nightmares that may be all too real, the ultimate metal band who are determined to give the ultimate final show, and a groom who wakes up with the worst hangover...one that soon becomes a horrifying nightmare. Whispers – sometimes we hear them, but they definitely hear us...still.

At the age of seven, I fell in love with the written word. Since that fateful day, I've dreamt of writing my own novels. In April 2014, twenty-five years later, that dream finally came true. Writing is, and always has been, my passion. I revel in creating characters, unique worlds, realistic environments, and situations and stories that hook the reader. Reading stories of this kind inspires me so returning the favour has always been important to me, as a writer and a fan of literature. I'm also a co-director at Dark Chapter Press, an English-based horror publisher, so pop over to my website for more information, including a fan club, the latest submission calls and new releases.
