The Mammoth Book of Best New Horror. Volume 23

DAVID BUCHAN DISCOVERED horror fiction as a teenager and began writing short stories in his early twenties, leading to his first publication on the website Whispers of Wickedness.

Since then his work has appeared in a number of small press publications on the both sides of the Atlantic, including the Sam’s Dot Publishing magazine Champagne Shivers. He is currently working towards an undergraduate degree in Humanities with the Open University.

“I am often struck by the manner in which some killers transport their victims from the scene of the crime,” says Buchan, “and the method used in this story is, somewhat inevitably, inspired by real-life cases.”
