31 days of #horror #1 of #31 was Jacques Tourneur's Cat People (1942). A wonderfully atmospheric psychological chiller with shadows aplenty and suggestion the order of the day. Produced by the multi-talented Val Lewton. #filmsky 🎬 www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFtZ...

My new novel, Devilry in Godling Wood: A Medieval Horror, will have an audiobook! A first for me. Richard Reed is the narrator, and he does an incredible job with it. Out Oct 23. Add on Goodreads if interested: www.goodreads.com/book/show/25...

I think Burnham was misquoted. He didn't say the Fairford Five had links to Iran, but they were listening to 'I Ran' by 80's strange haired pop group, A Flock of Seagulls. youtu.be/iIpfWORQWhU?...

Looks like my film picks this year for 31 days of Halloween/Horror are mostly from the 30s/40s. I've always found those old horror movies have the best atmosphere, something I feel was put on the back burner in favour of gore and splatter from the 1970s onward.

He knew there was nothing to find in these old run-down parks. Nothing to fill a hole in the belly, or in a shelter, for that matter. But still he visited, like a curious archeologist hoping to discover something of the past buried under all the rot and green decay. #writing

I give the USA maybe ten years before it breaks apart. This level of stupidity cannot hold a country together.

For years I thought the lyric, 'Fearless, on my breath', was 'Fearless Summer'. 😀 There's a story in that somewhere, I think. www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7K7...

Got a riff on Time Enough At Last in my head, where the world ends and the last man alive has access to all the great books left behind, but he's so brain-rotted by modern life, he hasn't got the attention span to read any of them.

The amusements were still. The horses on the merry-go-round no longer galloped. The teacups had filled with years of dishwater rain. Goldfish skeletons swam in empty bags. #writing

The tall grass had grown over the world and all its amusements. But still, some reached out like dying plants for the rain. Thirsty for a drip or drop of electricity to make them live again. #writing

Where to today brain? An abandoned theme park in an abandoned town in an abandoned world? And what's there? You don't know? Neither do I. Let's go find out.

What a creature it was. All wanting and not having, and when it had, it didn't want any longer. A curious beast, built to seek both novelty and safety at the same time. #writing

I do love a punny title for a story. So, this one I'm writing about a vampire trying to keep up with modern times and dress, I'm calling, 'Revamped'. 😁 #writing #WIP

Apparently those big bad terrorists they arrested near RAF Fairford, were actually thieves from London stealing fuel. 😂 There's a cracking 1960's comedy lurking in all this, with Sid James as the main crook. Call it Running on Fumes. 😁
