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 – Ration by Cody T. Luff
I’ve read dystopian stories in the past, and they’re all pretty desolate places to immerse yourself in (duh!). But I don’t think I’ve ever read one so downright depressing as Ration. This isn’t a complaint, though. Set (I assume) in… Read More ›

Book Review – Dirty Paws by Dean M. Drinkel
This story is a joyful and grisly homage to The Murders in the Rue Morgue (the story, not the ‘Maiden song), carrying the same strangely creepy, and thrilling vibe throughout, but without a detective in sight. The pacing is bang!… Read More ›

Book Review – Cinders of a Blind Man Who Could See by Kev Harrison

Book Review – Supermassive Black Mass by Matthew R. Davis
I went into this short book based on the title, the cover (it’s a kick-ass pentagram!!!), and the fact it was another tale in the Short Sharp Shocks! collection. Imagine my delight when I found out the main character was… Read More ›

Book Review – Church Mouse; Memoir of a Vampire’s Servant, by R.H. Hale
When I see a book described as a vampire story, I immediately think Anne Rice or Twilight and am slightly dubious at the thought of reading it. Which is silly really because, when I think about it, I enjoyed the… Read More ›

Book Review – The Cold by Rich Hawkins
This was one bleak story full of sadness, hopelessness, and lashings of blood; some fresh, some congealed and blackened. So of course I enjoyed it immensely! I’m a big fan of Rich Hawkins. His Plague Trilogy was superb; a post-apocalyptic… Read More ›

Book Review – Breaking the Habit by Yolanda Sfetsos
When a couple travel to a deserted cabin in the dense woodland, you kind of know what’s going to go down there. Supernatural monsters from the trees perhaps? An escaped murderer? A ghost of the former owner? Local rednecks who… Read More ›
