Somewhere South of Midnight

The place where terror and insanity lie in wait for the unwary traveller. The place on a long dark road, where our reality ends and the unknown beckons. Where our world ceases, and the Darkness begins. Where some can find the answers to their darkest questions. Where others find their worst nightmares come true.

One fateful, hot summer's evening it's a place on a motorway, miles from anywhere. Just after midnight, something collides head-on with the southbound traffic, creating a scene of the most terrible carnage, leaving eighty-seven people dead in the burning, twisted wreckage. And only seven survivors. Survivors who emerge unscathed from the catastrophe but have somehow changed.

For Harry Stark, mourning the loss of his family, even suicide cannot end his torment. There is no release in death from his pain, only a new and hideous ability to kill with a simple touch. The other survivors have inherited different powers. A long-distance lorry driver suddenly has the power to heal by the laying on of hands; an unscrupulous business man can now eliminate anyone who stands in his way; a woman is able to wreak revenge on the man who abused her as a child; while another can now escape from her brutal husband; and an artist finds he possesses the hideous power to drive men mad. Meanwhile, the Seventh Survivor is caught between two worlds, an agonised monstrosity stalking the night.

As Harry seeks to end the horror, it soon becomes apparent that his quest will ultimately take him back to the place where the nightmare began. A place Somewhere South of Midnight.
