Well where do I start?
That intro makes it sound like I’m up to sooo much fun stuff and have so many interesting facts to share about myself, but it’s all pretty boring really.
I write stories where scary stuff happens, I blog about nonsense, I am an amateur serial killer in the making, and I love snuggling up with my cute little kittens in front of a warm fire (only one of those statements is false).
I enjoy reading, which is a good thing if you want to write, as you need to know how to do it properly! King, Kafka, Palahniuk, Barker, Lovecraft, Jackie Collins; all the greats.
Films, yes I like them. Food, I enjoy eating it. Drums, I love banging them.
I hope to take over the world one day and make everyone listen to ear-shattering grindcore at all times, to only complain that my music is becoming too mainstream.
And that’s it really. Oh yeah, I also have a GSOH, although you’d probably doubt that if you ever met me.

Book Review – This Census-Taker by China Mieville
As I write this little review I’m still not sure what I thought of this book. I know that sounds weird, and maybe that’s the point. Do I judge this on my enjoyment levels as I read, or on the… Read More ›

Book Review – Lets Go Play at The Adams’ by Mendal W. Johnson
I’ve had this book on my radar for ages, from back in the days when a paperback copy cost something like three million quid or something to buy! But things are different now, so I just finished my nice shiny… Read More ›

Book Review – The Haunting of Hacket House by Astrid Addams
A while back I read and reviewed Astrid Addams’ novella The Haunting of Hope House. It was a decent haunted house tale but one that didn’t exactly blow me away. So here we have another ‘Haunting story, and a very… Read More ›
