The Holy Terrors
by Simon R. Green
read by Tim Bruce
Part 1 of the Holy Terrors Mystery series
Six people locked in a haunted hall... Cameras watching their every move... And then someone dies... This first in a spine-tingling new paranormal mystery series from New York Times bestselling British fantasy author Simon R. Green will make you doubt your judgement-and believe in ghosts!
Welcome to “Spooky Time”, the hit TV ghost-hunting show where the horror is scripted... and the ratings are declining rapidly. What better way to up the stakes, and boost the viewership, than by locking a select group of Z-list celebrities up for the night in The Most Haunted Hall in England (TM) and live-streaming the 'terrifying' results?
Soon Alistair, a newly appointed Bishop, actress Diana, medium Leslie, comedian Toby, and celebrity chef Indira are trapped inside Stonehaven town hall, along with June, the host and producer of the show. The group tries to settle in and put on a good show, but then strange things start happening in their hall of horrors.
What is it about this place, and why is the TV crew outside not responding? Are they even on air? Logical Alistair and intuitive Diana attempt to keep the group's fears at bay and rationalize the odd events, but there are things that just can't be explained within reason... Can the pair stop a cold-blooded would-be killer, even if it's come from beyond the grave?
This locked-room mystery with a paranormal twist is classic Simon R. Green, featuring his trademark humour and imagination, irresistible characters, and thoroughly entertaining plotting.

Stone Certainty
by Simon R. Green
read by Tim Bruce
Part 2 of the Holy Terrors Mystery series
Dare you enter the stone circle? The world's most unlikely ghost-busting duo-actress Diana and handsome young bishop Alistair-are back in this spine-tingling paranormal mystery from New York Times bestselling British fantasy author.
There are stories about the dilapidated stone circle at Chipping Amesbury, going back centuries. Of people going missing, never to be seen again. Of people found dead inside the circle. Of monsters, and of demons.
The villagers may tell the tales with relish to visiting tourists, but a careful observer will notice that there is no transport to the stone circles, no tours on offer, and the locals stay well away.
Alistair Kincaid, the youngest–ever bishop of All Souls Hollow, is an expert in Britain's ancient stone circles. That's why, when landowner Sir Neville Chumley announces his plans to restore the circle to its ancient glory, he agrees to take part in a documentary about the project.
Well-that, plus talented actress Diana Hunt is on board. Ever since their last encounter, when the pair of them hunted ghosts and solved a murder, the tabloids have dubbed them the Holy Terrors, and Alistair can't wait see her again.
But soon after filming begins, Alistair and Diana are plunged into a terrifying mystery. For the repositioning of the final stone unleashes a series of blood-chilling events that threaten to make them both believe in demons-if, that is, they make it out of the stone circle alive.
