Budding writer Wendy Logan has won an online competition to spend a weekend at a very special writers’ retreat in the seedy seaside town of Broadgate. It is special because it is being held by The Master of Horror himself, Cillian Smith, who was rumoured to have been born there. Despite not having written a word for years, Cillian is still regarded as the number one extreme horror author in the world, being famous for the early nineties’ classic ‘Shadow Games’, a cult slasher movie based on his bestselling book of the same name. Wendy will learn why Cillian Smith is a recluse, and she will learn the true purpose behind this gathering of writers. They aren’t there to write. They are there to die.
