The No. 1 bestselling creator of 'Alex Rider' gives horror a whole new look in this mischievous collection of macabre tales, presented in an exciting new, larger format. Stories of ultimate revenge, from freshly sold human meat and uncontrollable robots, to life-sucking MP3 players and reality TV where death is the penalty — all told with dark humour and gruesome relish, and made even more flendish by retro illustrations, chilling facts and a puckish message from the author. This is Anthony Horowitz at his most wicked. Old-fashioned cover look that belies the gruesome interior: makes for a great marketing story. This is a deliciously macabre collection of horror stories told with retro illustrations and lashings of gruesome relish.

Bestselling novelist and Holmes expert Anthony Horowitz will bring the great man to life again for a new generation of readers. As the creator of Foyle, recently voted the nation's favourite TV detective at the ITV Crime Thriller Awards 2010, Anthony has already displayed his talent for plotting and characterisation. Having been a lifelong fan of Conan Doyle's novels, he was the perfect choice to return to the original stories and create a new mystery for Holmes and Watson. Interest in Holmes has never been higher than right now. A blockbusting movie adaptation has coincided with the BBC's intriguing modern update and both successes are to be repeated this autumn. Horowitz says: I fell in love with the Sherlock Holmes stories when I was 16 and I've read them many times since. My aim is to produce a first-rate mystery for a modern audience while remaining absolutely true to the spirit of the original.
