I've attended a panel! On the business of short fiction and very interesting, if lacking the magic answer on how to make money. @joannacorrance.bsky.social

Just finished The Hamlet by @joannacorrance.bsky.social Beautifully written horror novella. I had to pause at the end of each chapter/story just to take it in but couldn't wait to read the next one. Definitely a book I'll read again. Highly recommended.

Folk horror doesn't need fields. Blood in the Bricks drags the genre onto the underground, the surgery ward and the skate park. Lonely in a crowd, terrified at home. Neil Williamson's anthology is bleak and brilliant. gnofhorror.com/blood-in-the-bricks-…

“In This City, Where It Rains maintains a beautiful and curiously dream-like quality throughout the horror. Lyndsey Croal captures the reader from the offset with this haunting and original ghost story, building up to a spectacular finale. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.”

Ultimately, The Hamlet is not just a story; it is an exploration of fear, curiosity, and the human condition. Its thought-provoking themes and beautiful prose resonate deeply, solidifying its place as one of my all-time favourite books.

The back cover of The Hamlet by Joanna Corrance with eh back cov er synopsis 

"Screens go blank, radios go silent, and the government is advising everyone to stay indoors. The residents of a rural Scottish community abandon their picnics and return home. Everyone can sense that something is wrong, but little do they suspect just how wrong...

The Hamlet is a new novella by Scottish author Joanna Corrance, who delivers a fabulous tale that dances between horror and science fiction with an added dash of weird.

Our cast of characters are all inhabitants of the Hamlet, including Eve, a businesswoman stranded when the planes are grounded; Robyn, an artist who accepts a commission to create a dollhouse to exacting specifications, with dire consequences;  Helen, desperate to provide content for her online followers; Jeanie, for whom monsters may be more real than even she realises; Polly, a neglected child who has her own unique way of coping with reality... Together, the lives of these and others enable us to piece together what really happened in a very peculiar rural community when ‘things got strange’."A picture of the sig in the page of the Hamlet by Joanna Corrance with the text "A special Signed Hardback Edition limited to 50 copies with Joanna's signature and the number of this edition, which is 20.
