The Executioner Box

By Matt Hilton

Ben Taylor failed to heed the warning: do not open The question is, what did he unleash?

Inside a crate of assorted junk, Ben Taylor finds a small, mysterious wooden box. It's etched with words in a language he doesn't understand. But the written note attached to it is clear: Do. Not. Open.

Yet he cannot resist the urge to lift the lid . . .

Ben never expected something so evil, dark and powerful would be lurking inside. Soon, strange and terrible things begin to happen: his employee gets attacked by an obscure figure, his wife hurts herself badly during work, people start to act abnormally around him and death follows him like the plague . . .

Clearly Ben's curiosity has unleashed something sinister on the world, and on himself. But what - or who - will he have to sacrifice to get it back in the box?

For fans of eerie tales "on the way to a finale of gut-clutching violence" (Booklist on Death Pact). Avid readers of Stephen King, James Herbert, Ramsey Campbell and Paul Tremblay will relish this latest Cautionary Tale novel from horror author Matt Hilton.
