‘From the first page, I found myself in a completely different place - behind the walls of the academy, where every secret has its price… Was there a story I didn’t like at all? Nope.’

'...a masterpiece of tight plotting'

Terrific new review for AMONG THE LIVING!

If you're going to pin a tweet, make it work for its living; you can find my paperback backlist at brooligan.com and in ebook form here: sfgateway.com/contributor/st…

Some book news: The second edition of Studies in the Horror Film - Tobe Hooper’s Salem’s Lot, is imminent from Centipede Press. Lots of new material.

Thank you for giving my Protos film X/tweet such a wonderful reception and boosting the signal so much. Truly, that means a lot to me. This is my first feature film script, and what an amazing and thrilling journey it's been from script to Cannes.

Blood Crazy 1 and 2 available now.
“Blood Crazy by Simon Clark remains, in my opinion, one of the best horror novels of the 2000s.” Brian Keene

And I lived in Pontefract so there was the constant sweet aroma from the town's liquorice factories pervading the atmosphere.

Cheers, Mark. Thanks for your kind words. Genuinely, that means a lot to me. I felt my writing really came alive for the first time when I began setting stories in a place I knew well. Location has its own lifeblood.

You're welcome 😊

Kindle bought and now enjoying the adventures of Horatio!

Wyndham often set his novels just a few years ahead of his present day, eg, Midwich Cuckoos, 50s, features a colour TV. Not seen in the UK until the late 60s. Night of the Triffids is set 25 years after the original.

A new chapbook and my news for May.

As my split personality says, today is the day, it’s real, it’s out there, it’s pretty… it’s nasty.
