So much new horror work(books and films) relies on cliche. So, I was a really happy to find this book with a bunch of original, scary little stories. It's ideal for a commute or if you're traveling. The stories grab you quickly and each of them was laced with the kind of dark humour I enjoy. Recommended!

I'm not usually one for short stories, or horror for that matter. However I felt like going for something different and I'm glad I picked this. The captivating and creative scenarios in each of these stories had me hooked. Reads like a series of Black Mirror! 👍

A belting little book of 14 weird, horrific and darkly-comic stories. Chris Jeal has a truly fantastic imagination and a very engaging style. I thoroughly recommend 'Splinters' to anyone who likes original, left-field tales leavened with some very black humour.

A lot of books I struggle to get into - but this was such an easy read. The stories read like watching a film rather, and you can picture every story in your head. It was scary at times, but also written with a touch of humour. I’d say it was more ‘tales of the unexpected’ or black mirror than traditional horror. But I loved it. Only criticism is I wish it was longer.
