Antisocial Housing - Mendees, Tim

. .

Résumé :
Tim Mendees is a rather odd chap. He's a horror writer from Macclesfield in the North-West of England that specialises in cosmic horror and weird fiction. A lifelong fan of classic weird tales, Tim set out to bring the pulp horror of yesteryear into the 21st Century and give it a distinctly British flavour. His work has been described as the lovechild of H.P. Lovecraft and P.G. Wodehouse and is often peppered with a wry sense of humour that acts as a counterpoint to the unnerving, and often disturbing, narratives.Tim has had over eighty published shortstories and novelettes along with six standalone novellas and a short story collection.When he is not arguing with the spellchecker, Tim is a goth DJ and a co-host of the Innsmouth Book Club podcast. He currently lives in Brighton & Hove with his pet crab, Gerald, and an army of stuffed octopods....

Sommaire:

Some land should never be built upon

Called to a newly-built low-rise block of flats on a Cornwall housing estate, plumber Paul Cannon finds more than a blocked toilet to contend with. Teaming up with a pair of local police officers, Paul's humdrum existence is turned upside down as something old and hideous stirs in the foundations. The tenants are vanishing, the nosy neighbour is in uproar and there is something definitely wrong with the pipes.

Uncovering a nightmare that stretches into the town's distant, and often murky past, it's up to a rag-tag assortment of local characters to ensure that what lurks in the walls of that cursed building never makes it to the outside world.
