Guess what trended AGAIN last week. #HorrorWritersChat was more popular than socialist reforms and football. #AmWriting #HorrorSky

Bluesky trending list. 1. HorrorWritersChat weekly music prompt. 2. Andy Burnham pushes socialist reforms. 3 and 4 have been blanked out. 5. Man City financial charges case

The 1966 Black Monk of Pontefract case involved heavy objects tumbling down stairs, foul odors, and reports of physical dragging. Poltergeist cases often feature this kind of physical aggression, which stands in contrast to typical ghost stories where activity is passive or subtle.

I wrote a collection of short horror stories inspired by mid-20th century radio and television like One Step Beyond and Quiet, Please! Come for the classic influences, stay for the cosmic justice, exploding body parts, ghostly revenge, cannibalism, and grave robbing. Clever people say it’s great!

The cover for the book A Row of Open Graves (And Nine Other Stories Of A Macabre Persuasion) which shows an illustration of open graves with a beam of yellow torchlight illuminating the purple bodies laying in them, along with a spade. The book title and author name are also in purple. Cover design by Ray Newman. Set against a purple background.

Two quotes against a purple background read as follows:

"Quintessentially British ghost stories...like a modern update of M.R. James or Tales of the Unexpected, these stories are full of charming oddities and twisted secrets."
- David Sodergren

"Evans' attention to detail when
establishing the worlds of these stories is unmatched... Each story reads like a love letter."
- Saoirse Ní Chiaragáin
