The Devil's Presents

In The Devil's Presents, R. J McCabe delivers seven sinister tales of the uncanny, the grotesque, and the inhumane.

A grieving mother follows whispers of a secret beach said to ease sorrow-only to find something ancient, and hungry, stirring in the tide.
A loner on the edge of a rural village struggles to contain the monster within, as his world closes in following the disappearance of a local child.
In a luxurious London office, a young woman attending the interview for her dream job, is forced to reveal the dark truth behind her need to avoid physical contact
An extremely small man enters a quiet, country pub and recounts, to a local man, the fantastical tale of how he came to be so little.
A curious dog walker accepts the invitation of a beautiful, mysterious woman and follows both her and her monstrous hound to their home where the evening takes an unexpected turn, leading to a shocking discovery.
A boy disobeys his parents during a dinner party, and in turn uncovers the terrible secret that lurks behind the foreboding door of his father's study. And deep in the forests of Sweden, four strangers arrive for a creative retreat-only to find themselves bound by the strange rules of Sista Platsen and are forced to "follow the path."

Dark folklore, modern monsters, and a simmering madness-The Devil's Presents is a collection of horror stories bound together by a common thread: Most gifts arrive wrapped in paper. These come soaked in blood.
