Available for people fancying some Xmas themed horror stories that provoke sounds like 'eek', 'urgh' and 'eew' as well as 'Ho Ho Ho'. Find it on Amazon (make sure to click on Filters and choose All as there is some adult content) or message me if you're local to me as I have a spare knocking about.

I can confirm that Centipede Press will release the expanded and updated second edition of Studies in the Horror Film: Salem’s Lot in February 2025. I’m not in a position to unveil the new cover art yet, so here’s the original from 2013.

A Warning to the Curious is on at 7.55pm. A tremendous vignette. I wrote a book about it and the other films directed by Lawrence Gordon Clark.

Kind of sums up my style of short story writing. Recent published tales include ‘Sins of the Children’, ‘Arthur Bennington Lives Alone at 666 Leiber Road’, and ‘Bloodlington Pier’, which was narrated by Tessa McKnight for The Lunatics Project.
