The Heavenmaker and Other Gruesome Tales by Craig Herbertson (2012)

The first book published by Parallel Universe Publications is The Heaven Maker & Other Gruesome Tales by Craig Herbertson. I don't think it will do any harm to mention that Craig Herbertson was one of the contributors to the original and legendary Pan Books of Horror, and so was David A Riley who, with Linden Riley, own Parallel Universe Publications.

Within the UK you can buy a copy by either writing direct to Riley Books, 130 Union Road, Oswaldtwistle, Accrington, Lancashire, BB5 3DR), by email (rileybooks@ntlworld.com) or by sending a Paypal payment to info@rileybooks.co.uk. It is also available on Abebooks.com (direct link).
