Butcher Man

‘Write your novel, Harry,’ urged the ghostly voice at the séance. And that night, Harry dreamt of a terrifying chase through wet, misted streets that ended with him crashing in through his front door, an unreasonable terror shaking him as he wondered who had followed him and why. But then he realised that his frightening visions were the perfect start for his crime novel. And that was when his troubles really began. Harry screamed in his sleep each night as he dreamed pieces were being hacked from his body. Then he screamed again when he woke to find those pieces really were missing. Was someone breaking in and committed these bloody acts while Harry slept? Or was he mutilating himself then repressing the memory? Those were the questions with which Detective Inspector Russell wrestled as he searched for a way to save Harry – before he was all gone.
