Product Description In the macabre world of Shaun Jeffrey, things are not always what they seem. A young boy 'fixes' dead things. A fairy tale has a far from happy ending. Clothes bring out the best -- and worst -- in the wearer. True love mutates into hatred and violence. Heroes become villains in the blink of an eye. Scenic vacation spots hide ancient evils. And a date at a secluded parking spot produces dire consequences. Voyeurs of Death delivers 15 tales of the macabre and surreal. Take a look inside ... if you dare.

Brilliant collection May 23, 2008 D. Riley (England) This is a superbly varied collection of short stories. It is also surprisingly realistic, grounded in everyday life - but an everyday life that can veer so quickly into a nightmare. Shaun Jeffrey's prose style is always highly readable - and amazingly evocative. His characters are totally believable - so much so that you really care what happens to them. No cardboard cut outs these! I highly recommend this collection, which I enjoyed reading immensely. And I look forward to seeing any further collections that appear from this talented writer.
Don't miss out! May 13, 2008 Enigma (Greece) Voyeurs of Death is a collection of short stories by a talented new author, Shaun Jeffrey. Shaun is one of my favourite horror writers at this time. The short tales are chilling, scary, funny and entertaining.
Horror stories with cats have always creeped me out and Clockwork was no exception.
Dark Inside is a short tale, but one of the most terrifying.
One of the stories, which I think I'll ever forget is Lifecycle. It's a story about a trashy pregnant prostitute who doesn't care about her baby, herself or the state of her house. In fact, her home is full of garbage and infested by insects. By the time you get to this tale , you will know Shaun's mind well enough to assume that the baby isn't going to be normal. Lifecycle is disgustingly disturbing.
The story titles are accompanied by vivid black and white sketches which add an extra macabre touch to the collection.
There isn't one tale that fails the grade. Voyeurs of Death is a must for horror lovers.
Great Book April 18, 2008 Joanne M. Viehman (Aurora, IL) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Some great stories that stay with you long into the night. If you like horror then you owe it to yourself to check this book out.
a fiend for horrorbooks April 7, 2008 Patrick Kilgallon 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
A collection of short stories for many who want to touch the grisly side of human nature, for those tempted to slow down at scenes of accident or crime, and need a police officer to wave us past these dark and supernatural tales. By the last page, the reader is crestfallen to find out that 'the show's over folks, move it along.'
A Pleasure to Read April 2, 2008 Myrrym Davies (Georgia United States) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Jeffrey's Voyeurs of Death delivers fifteen chilling tales that are sure to satisfy any horror fan. Stories run from two to ten pages in length and span the genre gamut, from subtle tales of traditional terror to more contemporary - and occasionally shocking - narratives. Shaun's knack for storytelling ensures an enjoyable read and the brevity of the tales makes Voyeurs a great choice for busy horror fans (I keep my copy at work and peruse it during breaks).
