End Storm Short Stories

Two people find themselves caught at the centre of an unfolding disaster with no idea what is happening. The Gathering is a ~6000-word short story that runs alongside the opening chapters of the British horror novel End Storm, and tells what really happened to some of that novel's characters when the End began. The story can be enjoyed before or after reading End Storm, with no risk of spoilers.

Kyle wants a roof over his head for Easter. Police Constable Neil Burns wants to see out the bank holiday and get home to his girlfriend. The plans of both men are disrupted by a mysterious power cut and reports of even stranger events forty miles north in London. With chaos ruling the streets and danger at every turn, will either of them get a second chance?

In the aftermath of a catastrophic explosion that transformed most of the population into bloodthirsty and violent monsters, a ragtag gathering of survivors make their way towards a place of safety in a nearby forest. First Night is the thrilling 14000-word conclusion to the mini-trilogy that began in The Gathering and Second Chance, and that runs parallel to the start of the novel End Storm.
