This week, STALKERS jumped from 18th to 15th best selling digital book on Amazon. Placed 4th on the Crime, Thrillers and Mystery list, it is currently HarperCollins' third best-selling e-book.

Retired police office and journalist, Paul Finch's macabre horror stories have garnered great acclaim. In recent years, his novella KID won him his second British Fantasy award in 2007. He was also awarded the International Horror Guild Award for his mid-length story, THE OLD NORTH ROAD. Dubbed the herald of a brighter 'future of horror' by John Pelan, US editor of the best-selling 'Darkside' series, his debut crime novel has been a resounding success.

In STALKERS Paul Finch plunges the reader into the violent and unforgiving underbelly of modern-day London and Manchester. Detective Sergeant Mark 'Heck' Heckenburg attempts to uncover the mystery behind the disappearance of several dozen women and soon finds himself furiously battling for his life and the truth with a ruthless criminal organisation.

Five of Paul's horror and thriller scripts are currently under option.

Praise for Paul Finch:

'Consistently inventive. Consistently excellent…' -- Simon Clark, author of THE FALL and VAMPYRRHIC

'Paul Finch is unique. He creates modern thriller and crime stories with supernatural overtones one minute, and sparkling traditional horror stories the next. One of the most exciting story writers in the business today.' -- Masters of Terror, International Horror Magazine

'Paul Finch is an exciting new voice in the realms of macabre fiction. He sketches out a disturbing landscape, filled with deep shadows and uneasy emotions where stories both traditional and modern are played out to chilling effect. Highly recommended.' -- Mark Chadbourn, author of WORLD'S END and SCISSORMAN
