ALL THAT WILL BE LOST A compilation of thirty-seven short stories and novellas from Steve Roach, one of the UK's many exciting writers that have emerged from the Independent scene. Ranging between horror and satire, science-fiction, grisly humour and urban commentary these stories pack a punch that will leave you thinking about them for a long time afterwards. This collection chooses the best of Steve's work from 2011-2017. A number of the stories have reached the top of their respective charts on Amazon. "I find that many books merge into one another in my mind and after a year or so, I can't remember what it was about, or even what I found so special about it. With Steve Roach you know you'll never read another story like his. His work has a way of fixing itself in your mind forever. These stories are often not a comfortable read but if you want your ideas stretched and challenged, have a go. Highly recommended."

The characters are richly defined, the setting is beautifully atmospheric and the action is thrilling. And to top it all off, it ends with a chuckle. Many authors are unable to pack this much into an entire novel, and Roach manages to do it in (a few) pages." Amazon US review for 'The Whaler' "I enjoyed this well written short story. The author definitely has talent." Amazon UK review for 'The Farda' "This is, without a doubt, the darkest and most disturbing (story) I've ever read. I worry about the author." Amazon UK review for 'A Dog's Life' "Another corker from Steve Roach. Amazing, thought provoking, scary stuff. Timeless - tackles our basic human insecurities.
