The Chiller Cabinet

A Novel Way to Die (2nd Murder Scene)

The Chiller Cabinet

The Chiller Cabinet, by Ty Power (c) 2023. This is my new 4-part short story . It's the experiences of an early psychologist, is written in the manner of the late 19th and early 20th century classics and is influenced by the work of the ghost stories of M.R. James and the cosmic horror fiction of H.P. Lovecraft.

The Hospital Garden

A Novel Way to Die (2nd Murder Scene)

The Chiller Cabinet

The Hospital Garden, by Ty Power (c) 2022. This new story evolved from a dream I had. It centres on the psyche of the key character, and explores such conditions as loneliness and isolation - particularly relevant in these recent times of living with Covid-19. However, this tale is set during and after WW2, and involves an experience which echoes through time.

A Novel Way to Die (2nd Murder Scene)

A Novel Way to Die (2nd Murder Scene), by Ty Power (c) 1996/2019. A Novel Way to Die is a serial killer thriller set in Snowdonia, North Wales, and in and around London. It's a police procedural, with help that comes from the most unlikely of sources. The taster presented here is the second murder scene. You can download the eBook from Amazon or directly from my Homepage..

The Dark Portender

'There's a Bloke on the Roof, howling'

A Novel Way to Die (2nd Murder Scene)

The Dark Portender, by Ty Power (c) 1992. This story is offered as a teaser for my science fiction collection Waves of Perception, which is available as an eBook download from Amazon (see books below for link). But for an internal difference of opinion , the story almost graced the pages of the fantastic Interzone magazine. Judge for yourselves. I think it works well.

'There's a Bloke on the Roof, howling'

Memories of an Ageing Rocker (c) 2015/2018 Ty Power. 'There's a bloke on the roof, howling' - The Crypt, is an excerpt from the aforementioned book of my humorous reminiscences of both local bands/gigs and established acts. There are countless anecdotes, and a section on a three-piece band I was involved in called Silly Phylis. Paperback and download versions are available on Amazon.
