The Bad Place

by Dean Koontz | Learn more and buy

Frank Pollard awakens in an alley, knowing nothing but his name and that he is in danger. Over the next few days he develops a fear of sleep because when he wakes he finds blood on his hands and bizarre and terrifying objects in his pockets. Distraught and desperate, Frank begs husband-and wife detective team Bobby and Julie Dakota to get to the bottom of his mysterious, amnesiac fugues. It seems a simple job, but they are drawn into ever-darkening realms where they encounter the nightmare, hate-filled figure stalking Frank. And their lives are threatened, as is that of Julie's gentle, Down's-syndrome brother, Thomas. To Thomas, death is the 'bad place' from which there is no return. But as each of them ultimately learns, there are equally bad places in the world of the living, places so steeped in evil that, in contrast,Death seems to be almost a relief

stevielow (Leeds)

Seeking a book club

I’m a 25 year old female in the Leeds area, and hoping to meet new people and be more social. I’ve always had a passion for books. Reading is my peace, I love a proper paperback in my hands but don’t read online/kindle. I especially enjoy series where you can follow the characters throughout. My favourite authors include Freida McFadden, Karin Slaughter, James Patterson and LJ Ross.

Dusty Bun (Wakefield)

Seeking a gaming group

Now in my mid fifties, I’m looking for similar aged beginners who’d like to start playing D&D. Played the game a little in my youth but drifted away from it as I was quite good at sport and this took up most of my spare time. Watching Stranger Things brought the game back into my focus and also brought back memories of playing with a great group of friends about forty years ago.

Nick (Leeds)

Gaming group

Nick, 31M, a forever DM looking for dnd 5e groups to run short campaigns with to help develop my fantasy world. I currently run a grand campaign with close friends, however, I have a range of short quests and one shots to play through. I can accommodate regular or irregular sessions, preferably online via Discord/ Roll20/ dndbeyond to begin with, but happy to meet up once we have met online.

AlchemiClive (Leeds)

Gaming group

Lates 30s male and an experienced GM/DM. I've taken a bit of a break from D&D, however I DMed 4e campaigns for a few years. Looking to start an IRL group in Leeds, as I've got a dice problem and have mainly been playing online for the last 6 years. I'm setting up an in person 4th edition D&D campaign and looking for players. The campaign will have an epic focus but with lots of space for humour and hijinks! I've also developed a few systems that are designed to be easy to start but have roleplay depth, if trying something different is of interest to anyone. I initially designed them for something to be easy to pick up and play when unexpected things came up in my group but we still wanted to have a session, even if we weren't playing our main campaign. I have 4 systems playable (a dark ages druidic fantasy, a space-western, cyberpunk bugs and one where you play a crewmember on a starship dealing with sci-fi shennanigans) and happy to run any of them. The games have a roleplay focus, however there is some depth to things like combat, if players gravitate towards it. They are quite good for people new to playing TTRPGs, as randomising characters that feel like part of the world is a lot of fun, but my veteran players have had a great time with jumping into new characters that don't require as much number crunching to get going.
