If you thought the horror was over at the end of Stewart Bint's 2015 novel, In Shadows Waiting, think again.
This sequel, set almost 40 years after the tragic events at White Pastures, is a paranormal crime thriller with a COVID backdrop, showing how grief and love affect one man's sanity. After a young couple are ruthlessly gunned down outside their home during the pandemic, we weave our way through Simon Reynolds' personal COVID nightmare, as he seeks answers about the mysterious blackouts he's experienced since his sister died at the hands of a supernatural entity back in 1982. Slowly but surely, paranormal events intertwine Simon's Long-COVID journey with Adam and Hayley Hampshire's murder, unveiling a plot to terrorise the entire world. When God's Wind Blows is a paranormal tale of love, insanity, and tragedy, of epic proportions. |
A bolt of lightning. A crack of thunder. The lingering smell of ozone in the highly-charged air. And the world has changed forever.
Or has it? Maybe the world we knew is still exactly the same…somewhere else. In the precise moment that the thunderbolt boomed what if a portal had opened up and sucked us through? And we’re now in a different world in a parallel universe.
In the wink of an eye we’ve been transported to a world we don’t know.
Even though it looks the same on the surface, there's just a hint that all may not quite be what it seems beneath. Even the most ordinary things may be just a touch out of kilter.
A collection of 21 short stories ranging from the sublime to the unforgivably ridiculous. Powerful, like The Twitter Bully. Puzzling, like A Timely Murder. Horrific, like The Growing Thing. Ridiculous, like Living Proof. Very different, like Ree -- The Troll of Dingleay.

The Marquand family flee their home on the island of Jersey just before the German occupation during World War II, and never return.
Now, it's the summer of 1983, and the once opulent Idlewild mansion is crumbling and derelict. The mansion holds a mysterious lure for 18-year-old David Simeon, who dreams of Idlewild years past, as it used to be. But who is the young girl he sees, endlessly wandering through its corridors?
As the nerve-shattering link between David, the girl, and the mysterious Idlewild comes to light, is it too late to stop the seeds of destruction and world domination planted there long ago, during Adolf Hitler's last desperate throw of the dice in World War II?
Fantasy, science fiction, horror and paranormal mingle in Stewart Bint's To Rise Again, as the threads of 1945 and 1983 slowly intertwine to reveal a world on the brink of destruction.

By the twenty-seventh century, mankind has finally mastered time travel—and is driving recklessly towards wiping itself out.
The guerilla environmentalist group WorldSave, with its chief operative Ashday’s Child, uses the Timeshaft to correct mistakes of the past in an effort to extend the life of the planet. But the enigmatic Ashday’s Child has his own destiny to accomplish, and will do whatever it takes within a complicated web of paradoxes to do so. While his destiny—and very existence—is challenged from the beginning to the end of time, he must collect the key players through the ages to create the very Timeshaft itself. “Do our actions as time travellers change what would otherwise have happened, or is everything already laid down in a predetermined plan?” he asks. Stewart Bint’s Timeshaft is an expertly synchronized saga of time travel, the irresistible force of destiny, and the responsibility of mankind as rulers of the world. |
