"Paul shares Clive's understanding of the plight of the 'hidden monsters' that resided in Midian but moves them into the World Above."-Anne Bobby from her introduction We witness the beginnings of a parasitic alien invasion, whilst at the same time a pregnant woman encounters a very different kind of organism. Strange, hooded creatures lurk on street corners and a teenage girl falls victim to even more terrors underground. Huge worm-like things plague both a detective and soldiers from the past, but a man in the present realises that living words can be just as dangerous.

Gone, and The Scarlet Gospels "Paul Kane is a name to watch. His work is disturbing and very creepy."-Tim Lebbon- New York Times bestselling author of The Cabin in the Woods, The Silence and The Last Storm "His stories not only, at his best, put him neck and neck with Ramsey Campbell and Clive Barker, but also in the company of greats like Machen and MR James. You don't rest easily after reading a Paul Kane story, but strangely your eyes have been somewhat opened."-Stephen Volk- BAFTA winning screenwriter of Gothic, Ghostwatch, Afterlife, The Awakening and Midwinter of the Spirit

Un jour qu'il se trouvait dans cet état d'abrutissement, le capitaine Anderson le vit couché devant sa loge et lui attacha les pieds et les poings avec de grosses cordes; puis il mit un enfant très-faible pour le garder. M. Anderson donna ordre à ce dernier de venir l'avertir au moment du réveil de l'ivrogne, et de ne nommer sous aucun prétexte à Sigennok la personne qui l'avait lié. Quelques heures après, Sigennok revint à lui, et demanda avec colère à l'enfant qui avait osé le traiter d'une aussi indigne façon. Le petit bonhomme, sans répondre à la question, courut au capitaine Anderson. Celui ci se rendit tout de suite vers le prisonnier, qui lui adressa les mêmes questions qu'à l'enfant, et demanda avec rage sa mise en liberté. Le capitaine lui répondit qu'il avait été lié par ses propres ordres, et exposé ainsi pendant plusieurs heures aux moqueries de tout le camp. Il profita de l'occasion pour insister sur l'humiliation à laquelle un guerrier comme lui s'exposait, uniquement pour satisfaire au goût ignoble qui le mettait au-dessous de la brute.
