The Garden Where Black Flowers Grow (Paperback Book)
‘The Garden Where Black Flowers Grow’ collects together twenty-seven of Tim Jeffreys short stories. The reader will find within these pages straight-forward horror stories such as 'The Stairs to the Attic' and 'Night is Peeping''; darkly humorous tales like ‘Soft Clocks’ and ‘Horror Story’; sinister adult fairytales like 'The Hand-Made Tail' and 'Alice and the Scarecrow’; as well as poetic, thought-provoking non-horror pieces like 'Spanish Landscape'. The majority of these stories take the reader on a tour of dark places – down deserted streets where evil forces lurk in the cracks of the everyday, or into the thoughts of the troubled and the mad. They will dredge up subconscious fears and probe the corners of the mind. There are ghosts, ancient evil, lost lovers and lost Gods. There are Sirens, malevolent spirits, unnamed creatures locked in attics, and personal demons loosed from the mind.
“It offers a wide selection of stories, some are horror stories, some have the feel of a sinister fairy tale, a few are simply descriptive pieces. They have a rather subtle, ‘old fashioned’ feel to them, with some having a rather dark humour running through. It’s a good book to dip into, and every story reveals something new with each reading.” BFC Book Reviews. See full review

The Orange Grove (Paperback Book)
The Orange Grove is a short novella and tells the story of Catherine, sole inheritor of a secluded orange grove and a mysterious book. She shares the grove with the gardener, Ira, a man who has long served her family and knows much about its history; and her husband, David, who has been missing from the house for some time but whose presence still makes itself known within the grove. Into this setting stumbles Jack Swift, an apparently confident and streetwise young man who has fled the city. As he begins to pick at the threads of the story, the mysteries of the Orange Grove - particularily the events leading up to the disappearence of Catherine’s husband - will begin to unravel and he finds himself caught up in a plot deeper and darker than he could have imagined.

The Scenery of Dreams (Paperback Book)
The Scenery of Dreams is a collection of short stories that mixes styles and genres, from haunting opener 'We Are Three', a bizarre tale of two men adrift in a small boat with a creature called The It, to closer 'I Am The Walls', it takes in elements of horror, science-fiction and a very black comedy. Along the way the reader comes across a strange and baffling cast of characters such as 'The Soundproof Man', the aponomous subject of 'Crazy Gary and the Bedlington Alien', the ones stalked by 'The Man In Black' and 'The King of Shadows', and the office workers of 'The Cats Clause', 'Finally One Tuesday' and 'The Caged Sea'. Frequently characters reach for some small happiness, or seek to improve their lives and finds their worlds crashing down around them, most only having themselves to blame.
