The smiling town doctor hides an inner malevolence. Can a young innocent turn the rising tide of death and destruction?

Redwell, England. James Parish can’t contain his excitement. Moving to a small town where his parents are opening a grocery store, the exuberant ten-year-old is happiest about the promise of a new PlayStation. But when he’s snatched from their new home, the youngster finds he has stepped into a dreadful nightmare.

Fooled by his captor’s claims of good intentions, James allows the monster to teach him how to develop hidden psychic abilities. Until the frightened child realizes he’s in the hands of all-consuming evil, and learning to fully unlock his powers is his only hope for escape…

Can James break free before he becomes a tool of wickedness?

Dark Minds is a chilling supernatural thriller. If you like brave boys, surprising twists, and edge-of-your-seat page-turners, then you’ll love Stuart Byng’s nail-biting horror.

My name is Stuart Byng. I was born in Stourbridge, West Midlands on 24th February 1976.

I have had a varied career, including courier, shop assistant, window cleaner, and internet researcher. I have always loved writing though. My own favourite author is Stephen King.

I initially self-published my first novel, Dark Minds, in 2007. Now I have finally added the latest edition into the Kindle Store.

I also now have two short story collections, Avenues Of Darkness & As Night Falls, available from the Kindle Store.

I am currently finalising my second novel, Kito, due for release very soon.

3.0 out of 5 stars Gripping and claustrophobic battle of good and evil
Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2024
If something seems to good to be true, it often is - the perfect idyllic town may be hiding an evil underbelly that doesn't like to be challenged. Claustrophobic and tense - the battle for good and evil you just didn't see coming, but now can't avoid. Definitely gripping!

Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2017
Dark Minds is a novel that has you asking what the heck is going on. The characters are a bit strange and unexplained fugues keep happening. What is the cause and was the move a good idea? The only way you can find out is to read the book. Another review that is fun to do.

I really tried to read this book but I just couldn't. It reminds me of the old Dick and Jane primary readers. It seems like the author was being paid by the word and I tried to see if he was really British as the writing seemed so fakely British. His favourite words are cuppa, then, love, console and meanwhile. I'm glad it was free because I would have hated to waste money on it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Something hidden in the back of your mind ...

We all have dark fears inside us: nightmares, disasters, betrayal. We all can be at least tempted to do wrong: "They're just our enemies anyway, aren't they?" In a way we all have dark minds.

It is hard to work out quite what kind of event this book is about. Are the villages in some kind of cult? Is this a case of demonic influence? Is it poison in the water that sends people mad? One way or another this village definitely has secrets.

I enjoyed reading this horror story. The author definitely kept me guessing. The plot moves along nicely with no dull spots. The main characters, the Parish family, seem like believable people and we sympathize with them.

It is interesting how easily we can dismiss things, by just thinking: "That can't be true! I must be imagining things." Ordinary life happens in the daylight, but dark corners are everywhere.

This novel gets four stars from me.

Good book. At first I thought this was about making coffee as they seemed to be drinking a lot of it. As the story unfolded the thought of this book being about coffee when't out of the window. I could not put the book down. Well done Stuart Byng. Look out for more of your stories.
