iThe world is a dark place, even in daylight. DRAGGED
INTO DARKNESS features fifteen tales of horror
from the subtle to the extreme. The characters are ordinary
people who are ripped from their daily routines into a dark
world.
"Dragged Into Darkness" is filled with characters who
are one step from the light and a normal existence, and because
of this, their world will never be the same.
In "The Eye Of The Beholder," Dr.
Gareth Troy empathizes with his tortured patients' disfigurements
a little too much.
For Dave in "Hungry For More," the
eating habits of Americans are nothing like those of the people
in England.
In "Acceptable Losses," Captain
John Clelland has struck the worst of bargains for the lives
of allied soldiers.
In "Runway 37," Neal is forced to
land his crippled light aircraft on a runway that can’t
possibly exist.
DRAGGED INTO DARKNESS will
make you clamor for the light.
This collection features an introduction by
Gene O'Neill and cover art by GAK.
All stories have a history and this collection
is no different. If you'd like to know what inspired these stories, go

What They Said About DRAGGED INTO
DARKNESS:
"Simon Wood is a powerful new voice in
the art of dark storytelling. His prose is surreal, unique...and
disturbing. The stories in this collection will indeed drag you
into darkness—and you'll love every minute of it! A promising
debut from a future master of terror.”
— Brian Keene, Author
of THE RISING and NO REST FOR THE WICKED
“Simon Wood's fiction is ominously deceptive.
His quiet, unassuming voice sneaks up behind you, whispers in
your ear the promise of a great story. A chill runs up your spine,
but you feel safe. Then, just as you start to relax, Wood bludgeons
you over the head with dark twists and turns you never expected.
Simon Wood is definitely one hot new writer to watch...but you'd
better buckle up for this ride!”
— J. Newman, Author
of HOLY ROLLERS and THE WICKED
“Short story writing is a craft few
master and when you can pack as much as Simon does into each
page...you know you're reading one of the very best.”
— Elaine Flinn, Author
of DEALING IN MURDER
“Simon Wood kept me spellbound with
each story in his menagerie of macabre; his surrealist prose
is entertaining and equally chilling...While you are DRAGGED
INTO THE DARKNESS with Simon you will be pleading for more instead
of wishing the ride to end. You'll indulge your darkened fears
and befriend the evil that awaits you around the next corner.”
— Eternal Night
