Ron Halestrom is a new author, one successful book behind him, who moves into a new home with his family, to write more. But naturally, Gabor House has a dark secret which is trying to drive them away. Two hundred years before, it was the old manor house: home to the Mainwarings, owners of much of the locality. Young children had been going missing, but it took their own daughter Isobel's disappearance for them to send out a search party. They find Bemorra, the local imbecile, throwing her into the Gabor Pool. Bemorra is hanged until he is dead, but he has enough time to curse the locals.

The black sullen water closed over his head. Bubbles of vile-smelling marsh gas rose from the slime and mud of the pool. Still deeper he sank, eyes staring, wide-open. Now strange figures - human figures - swam before him with weed-entangled hair and outstretched, beckoning arms. An unearthly siren song of desire and death swelled and rang in his ears. Soft water-bloated flesh stroked and nuzzled against him. Down, down they took him. The creatures of the pit, who were dead yet could never die, bone white in the inky blackness, sucked and pulled at him. Claimed him for their own.

The camp centres on a couple, who, though living through one of the longest & hottest summers on record believe themselves to be stuck in a house, in a snow-storm, that like the summer, is never going to end. They have no food and can't stay where they are through fear they will be killed by marauding looters. Meanwhile, outside, families play on, unaware of the struggle going on behind closed doors. They attempt an escape … an escape that leads to horror. What is it that happening to some of the campers, and what is the connection between the camp and a secret government department?

Mel Timberley, professional lorry driver, swerves to avoid a hare and crashes into Claerwen Reservoir, polluting the entire water supply of Birmingham with the most deadly weedkiller ever created. Ron Blythe was the chemist who helped to create the spray and now, with thousands of people suffering and dying, his conscience forces him to try to work to find an antidote. Unfortunately, he gets stranded inside Birmingham, now sealed off, and full of anarchists, escape criminals and weedkiller-poisoned sufferers from the Thirst, all of which turn the city into a hell inside England.

Professor Brian Newman is researching into a cure for meningitis. Unfortunately, as a by-product, he accidentally creates a lethal mutated version of the disease which is swiftly killing all the bats in his glass test cage. He knows that his experiments have failed and plans to dispose of the bats as soon as all of them have finally succumbed. But, fatally contaminated bats escape to spread their disease around the country. The only possible way to prevent an epidemic is to locate and destroy every single bat; but bats are small, they don't come out during the day and even a country as relatively small as UK has more than enough area to hide them.

Kate Leonard is a loner, psychological scars remaining from childhood abuse. She finds solace in her artwork especially in painting the ducks on the park lake. Then one day her solitary life is shattered when she is raped by a masked man. Although his features are concealed she knows that she would recognise him again by his abnormal genitalia. Her search for the unknown rapist begins, fuelled by a smouldering hatred of the male sex in general. Posing as a prostitute in the shadows of the city alleyways, her predations at first are mutilations. Then comes the first death, followed by others as Kate claims her gruesome trophies. Detective Sargent Jason Ford is assigned to the case, his mission to bring this female serial killer to justice. He is only too well aware as he hunts her that he, too, may well become one of her victims.

When Bilal, a young Pakistani, signs various official documents in order to get to Britain ('the promised land'), he doesn't realise that he's being manipulated for cheap labour and will soon become an illegal immigrant on the run from the authorities. He also fails to realise that his pet caracal - a wild cat that is often domesticated back home - will return to its natural wild state if and when it doesn't receive the necessary training. And in the Welsh border hills there's plenty of space for it to hide. After it mauls a few sheep and pheasants, the hunt is on before it graduates to human meat.

Cold as death, the sudden mist seeped and coiled through the wood. Naked and terror stricken, the girl floundered ever deeper through the undergrowth and the clinging black mud, desperate to escape her pursuer. But in front a worse horror waited. For with the mist came the figures from the past — from many pasts — lurching through the blinding whiteness, reaching out to clutch, choke and smother the wood!
