Welcome to Colin Alcock books and stories

A diverse choice

The books I write cover a diversity of genres and are aimed simply at providing entertaining reads. Novels you can bury yourself into for escapist pleasures, novellas for quick reads when you have limited time to spare, and compilations of shorter works to dip into that provide a funfair of mood teasers. From candy floss to exhilarating fiarground rides – and the ghost train. There's drama, there's humour, there's the joy of living, the despair of death, in the present and in the future, plus a few much darker tales that cross the line from our world to those we can only imagine – or perhaps prefer not too.

The Novels

These disparate tales are designed to intrigue and to thrill. Suspense and drama keep you turning the pages until the final twist at the end. With a few surprises along the way.

The Novellas

Ideal for when you’re short on time, have a long commute or a lengthy journey. Nevertheless, all are full of emotional moments, with a light sprinkling of murder across some of them.

The Collections

Easy to pick up for a brief read, but not so easy to put down. Together these books offer a little of everything for everybody. Eclectic tales told mainly through short stories and flash fiction.

The Sampler

Take a look at a small sample of short stories, flash fiction and excerpts from longer works. You’ll get a taste of the variety and style of stories I write. From time to time I will refresh this page with new stories.
