Hooker Ian Thompson

Beauty can be only skin deep. Horror can go right through to the bone.


Nigel Fawson is down on his luck - he's lost both his job and his family - so he sets out to get drunk in a seedy bar. Soon Fawson is comforted by a beautiful girl named Valerie. When he discovers that his new friend is a prostitute, he decides to throw caution to the wind and return to her apartment with her... And that's when his night turns from awful to utterly lethal.


Valerie has a hideous secret. She really isn't what she appears to be. Worse still, she's very, very hungry.


'Hooker' is the second in a new series of Short Horror Tales - quick reads written to captivate readers with thrills, chills and unexpected twists.
