Death is something that no horror writer should ever fear, but Richard feared death and feared it more than most. What Richard feared about death was The Fresh Man.
The Fresh Man was in his head and there was nothing that could be done...
This is the tale of a highly successful horror writer who has reason to fear his own work and, most terrifying of all, to fear his own death. L Lyott's novella is a tale of macabre madness, fear and romance. Nurse Van Thal, a budding writer herself, offers to help Richard through his fear and anguish. The two share stories and, eventually, The Fresh Man.
The Fresh Man storyline, and its several short tales contained within, is an anthology of horror, gore, Satanism and hauntings. It is a tale, once read, will never be forgotten.
