The Screaming Book of Horror: Available now!

The Screaming Book of Horror launched at FantasyCon will rapidly sellout so I suggest you go for it quick. This volume contains such a sterling range of talent it is somewhat embarrassing to see my name there. The who’s who of authors includes the all-time SF great, the late John Brunner and Charlie Higson of […]

Irish tales of Terror: Jim McGarry

Having found a different toad I thought it’s time to review this Irish collection. Incidentally, it must have a look-in as the most inappropriate cover as there are no toads in Ireland; I have it on good authority that they were banished by St Pat. Blurb IRELAND — the land of legend, where pixies, ghosts […]

Screaming Dreams

I have two horror stories coming out in September. ‘The Mall’ and ‘The Iron Cross’. ‘The Iron Cross ‘will be appearing in ‘The Screaming Book of Horror’, edited by John Mains. It’s worth pointing out that it contains a star studded cast and at the moment you can get it a bit cheaper by pre-ordering […]

Algernon Blackwood The Dance of Death

We have to take into account that […]
