R F Whittaker presents a collection of horror stories. Jinni: A burglar looking for a raise to pay off a ruthless loan shark gets more than he bargained for when he breaks into his next door neighbour's house. His neighbour is dead and a sinister voice within the corpse is offering out wishes in this brutal novelette. "Jinni has the same dark, ominous, and most of the times twisted, imagery that you remember from Whittaker's other works, but with a "fresh" new subject matter and storyline."Vampire: A social recluse cannot believe his luck when he is seduced by a beautiful woman with mysterious hypnotic powers. His first night of passion has more in store for Dominick than a notch on his bedpost, and the transformation that follows has devious consequences. "Though this a short story, it packs quite a punch! It's steamy, and it's funny, and it's well worth the read. I love all of the awkward situations in which the characters find themselves. With Whittaker's talent for painting pictures with words, I found myself alternately chuckling and gasping in horror."Zombie: A little boy goes missing, and in her grief, his mother resorts to Voodoo magic to find him. A unique tale told through the eyes of the killer, the grieving mother, the troubled father, and the dead boy himself. "Told from the perspective of each of the main characters, this is a unique approach to the zombie phenomena. It contains several violent and disturbing scenes, described in detail. An excellent read from a talented writer, who clearly enjoys his craft."Spider: A family in rural England terrorise the animal kingdom at will for years, until one day Mother Nature decides enough is enough and unleashes a giant spider on the unsuspecting Witherbys. " I don't want to give too much away but R F Whittaker did his homework on the ways spiders act and what abilities they have and put them into monstrous form."Werewolf: An infamous tale that shocked and disgusted some readers. A woman is tormented by the curse of the monster that killed her husband and violated her during their honeymoon. Her recovery, not without incident, is disturbed by a cut-throat gang of Travelers that hold her captive in a shipping container until the full moon. "Whittaker really messed with different themes and messed with my head as well while reading."
