The first volume of seven budget story samplers, Allies in the Deep carries its readers to the depths of the ocean, into dingy torture chambers, post-apocalyptic Norfolk hellscapes and a dinner party with a difference. All of these blood-curdling excursions are made with one purpose: to chill, thrill and horrify the reader.

The book contains...

Angel's Drop: in which a prisoner plots to escape a horrific death.

Repentance: where an immoral man faces the come-uppance he secretly longs for.

Allies in the Deep: Where violently murderous aliens are bested by an unexpected friend.

...and four more tales.

\"Gavin Boyter's fiction brings the reader into another place and time. It is a rare writer who can make a situation far away seem real and relatable and Gavin's story does just this.\" - Lisa C. Taylor, WORDPEACE Fiction Editor

Born in Edinburgh, I now live on the Kent Coast. I'm a screenwriter, film director, novelist and ultrarunner. Since 2020 I've written over 160 short stories and many of these are available FOR FREE on Curios as samples of my work. Please consider purchasing an e-book if you enjoy the samplers and do remember to review on Curios.
