What is The Phone Goes Dead about?
David’s mobile phone will not stop ringing, but the callers are not ordinary people. As strange voices whisper from beyond the grave, he begins to wonder whether his phone is connected to heaven—or somewhere far worse. Meanwhile, Isabel’s parents have installed a beautiful Victorian bath, but she senses something sinister about it. When the water runs red, Isabel must uncover the terrifying secret before she becomes part of it. Two chilling tales turn everyday objects into sources of deadly horror.
