Beth Wilson's night just got a whole lot worse. Having made the journey into the centre of London for an overnight shift, she finds that the entire building is off-limits due to a police investigation. Her only option is to turn around and get back on the bus. But this is no ordinary night. And this is no ordinary bus journey. As she makes her way south through the city, Beth starts to notice something a little 'off' about some of her fellow passengers. Unable to shake the sense that she's being followed, she tries different seats. Meanwhile the bus keeps stopping along its route, picking up even stranger passengers. Soon the entire journey feels like a trip into the darkest reaches of a nightmare. The only person who seems able to help Beth is the driver, but he's apparently oblivious to the strangeness that seems to be taking over the bus seat by seat. Soon a slow-motion horror is set in motion, one that Beth can't escape. What is really wrong with the bus? What will happen when it reaches its destination? And were all its passengers doomed from the moment they got onboard? 2am is the seventh book in the Haunting of London series, a collection of stand-alone but loosely linked horror stories set over the course of one ghostly twenty-four-hour period in the city.

Horror / Mystery & Thrillers

On a freezing night just before Christmas, a woman steps into the path of an oncoming train – and the nightmare that follows spreads far beyond the lonely English station where she dies. As emergency crews struggle to clear the scene, a web of chilling encounters begins to unfold. In a decaying pub, a shattered train driver drowns in guilt. A nearby bystander, who snapped a photo of the tragedy, finds himself stalked by something he can’t quite see. A cleanup technician senses he isn’t alone in the darkness, while a mortuary attendant’s greedy impulse invites a terrifying consequence. Along the railway line, an irate commuter lashes out at a worker – only to come face-to-face with his worst fear. A woman answers a late-night phone call and realizes her caller may not be among the living. Even a fox scavenging by the tracks uncovers something it should never have found. All these lives… all these horrors… and all of them trace back to a forgotten family trip to the seaside fifteen years ago. By dawn, the spectral presence of Sophie Winter will have left her mark on everyone touched by the night’s events. Some will escape. Some will not. Because Sophie is no longer seeking help – she’s seeking vengeance. Ten Ghosts of Sophie Winter is a horror novel about the dangers of mixing with the dead, the rippling waves that spread out from one awful incident to another, and the anger of a woman who believes her life has been cut far too short.
