Exploring the Darkness: A Haunting Colouring Experience Inspired by William R. Perry’s Horror Duology

When the body betrays the mind, and no one believes the truth, terror takes root in the quietest places.

In By His Hand, William R. Perry introduced us to Bill—a man whose body succumbs to a creeping paralysis, leaving him trapped inside himself while an unknown force takes control. The miracle of his recovery masks a deeper horror: Bill is no longer steering his own body, and the thing that is has dark intentions. The sequel, Out of His Mind, picks up one year later, where the aftermath of Bill’s ordeal still lingers. Vicious murders. Unanswered questions. A man locked in his own mind, branded a monster.

Now, readers are invited to step deeper into this chilling world through a brand-new and unexpected medium—a colouring book.

But don’t expect soft flowers and smiling animals.

This isn’t just a colouring book. It’s a visual journey into the unsettling imagery, spiritual undertones, and psychological horror that define Perry’s gripping novels. Filled with symbolic art, eerie motifs, and disturbing snapshots of Bill’s transformation, the illustrations allow fans to explore the themes of inner torment, possession, and isolation with pencil in hand.

Each page echoes the questions raised by the books:
What if your body no longer belonged to you?
What if your cries for help went unheard?
And what if the darkness never really left?

Whether you’re already captivated by Perry’s gripping narrative or discovering it for the first time, the By His Hand colouring book offers a unique and immersive way to experience the story. Part meditative, part macabre, this companion piece is perfect for horror fans who like their art with a side of unease.

Coming Out 1st August 2025

Dare to colour the horror.
Dare to step inside the mind of the possessed.
And ask yourself—would you be believed?

When we think of horror, we often imagine things lurking in the shadows—monsters, ghosts, serial killers. But what if the true source of dread wears the face of a child?

Y is for Youths, the twenty-fifth installment in the widely praised A to Z of Horror series from Red Cape Publishing, dares to ask just that. Featuring thirteen new tales from a selection of talented independent horror authors, this collection doesn’t merely disturb—it unsettles on a deeper, more psychological level. Each story explores the terrifying idea that the very young—those we’re conditioned to protect, trust, and adore—might instead be something far more dangerous.

Fear in Its Smallest Form

The stories within this volume take readers into the darker corners of youth:

A doppelgänger that mimics too well
Spirits that use the guise of children to exact revenge
Psychopaths forming behind innocent smiles
Bloodlines carrying the taint of evil from birth

The collection offers a diverse range of horror sub-genres, from the supernatural to the disturbingly plausible. These aren’t stories about evil coming for the children—they’re about evil coming from them.

There is something uniquely provocative about horror centered on young protagonists or antagonists. As a literary device, children often symbolize potential, purity, or vulnerability. But in horror, this very symbolism is weaponised, turning comfort into discomfort and innocence into something twisted.

Y is for Youths taps into these contradictions. Readers will find not only scares but social commentary—exploring the loss of innocence, the influence of environment, the idea of inherited evil, and the thin line between nurture and nature.

Whether you’re discovering the series for the first time or have followed it from A is for Aliens, this latest instalment offers something fresh—and thoroughly disturbing.
