The Flat Man

by Valentine King

A chilling collection of five horror stories.

Can You Read This? - If you can, the experiment worked and you're alive. Just don't try and move. I'll explain everything.

The Rider - A motorbike roars through the forest, taking a wrong turn towards a huge web dangling between the trees.

The Perfect Train Set - Jim sends off for a model of his wife to take pride of place in his train set. Only this miniature seems to hate him just as much as his wife does.

Diving In - An old man escapes his care home, wanting to take just one leap from the top diving board before he dies.

The Flat Man - A campfire story of a murderer flattened by a steamroller. A children's horror story told to scare children but one child's imagination might just be strong enough to bring the flat man to life to deal with the bully everyone hates.
