Description
STEP INTO THE WORLD OF THE DARK MAN: PLEASE HAVE YOUR REFERRAL READY…
An abused child encounters the local legendary boogeyman, and finds himself querying the definition of ‘monster’…
Two time-travellers observe The Crucifixion, and discover a horror far beyond the brutality of the event itself…
An inhuman predator establishes its feeding ground in a small rural town—but does it have competition…?
In this collection, representing the darker work of award-nominated author Chuck McKenzie, you’ll find tales of zombies, kaiju, and alien invaders; of visits to Hell, and to quiet suburban streets; of Lovecraftian entities and spectral terrors. And other, far less pleasant tales than these…

Hold onto your eyeballs, people—The Dark Man is one wild, creepy, bone-chilling ride! This book’s got it all: boogeymen, zombies, aliens, and even a snack-happy kaiju. (Yeah, a freaking kaiju!) I couldn’t stop flipping the pages, even when I wanted to hide under a blanket. The author doesn’t just spook you; he sucker punches your brain with “what the heck just happened?!” moments. Wanna lose some sleep and question your grip on reality? Grab this book ASAP. You’ll love every spooky second. 👻📚
The Dark Man, By Referral and Less Pleasant Tales is a wickedly creative collection of horror that takes readers on a whirlwind tour of the macabre. From a reimagined boogeyman to cosmic horrors lurking in small-town shadows, each tale leaves a distinct chill. The blend of Lovecraftian vibes, psychological scares, and unexpected twists made this an unforgettable read for me. I especially loved how the stories toyed with my expectations and left me pondering long after I turned the last page. If you’re a fan of unsettling tales that blur the line between monster and man, this is your next great read.
