I’ve done it! I’ve entered “Gone But Not Forgotten” into SFINCS3! Good luck, Bill and Mere.

Picture of the author holding a copy of Gone But Not Forgotten. On the front cover a startled black cat stands atop a grave stone. At the foot of the grave lies a glowing Jack-o-lantern.

Can anyone recommend Halloween events happening this year, preferably in the North-west of England or Wales? We went to the Halloween Family Festival at Muncaster Castle last year.

Watercolor sketch of a brown haired woman dressed in an old fashioned green dress with lace at the cuffs and neckline running in terror down a dark corridor, pursued by a huge, smoky, ghostly figure.

#HorrorWritersChat I text the campsite warden and have the child safely collected and taken back to their parents, then get back to the business of skinning alive the man in the next tent to mine who was playing his transistor radio too loud.

#HorrorWritersChat Care home. My WIP ‘Bit Parts’ is set in one. It’s about a faded horror film star failing to be recognised by the other residents. So he decides to reenact a famous scene from one of his films, with hilariously gruesome consequences.

#HorrorWritersChat Some of my fiction is on my Substack - here’s an example: open.substack.com/pub/conolly/... ‘Tea with Mrs. Hindley’ uses a ‘first person’ narrative and often features ‘Yorkshire vernacular’, so apologies to anyone unfamiliar with that. Hopefully you’ll still ‘enjoy’ it.

A super brilliant play last night that is running until 14th June 2025. This play is set in the eighties that has echoes of The Enfield Haunting and The Exorcist (1973). The theme explores identity and sexuality during the eighties and like Sinners, music is paramount to the story.
