As I mentioned in my post last Friday, I had a lot planned for the weekend just gone.

Well it’s going to be death and destruction all the way this weekend, and you could be there! Tomorrow I’ll be filming with Un:Bound in Leicester along with Wayne Simmons and Jasper Bark. We’re looking for volunteer zombies, so if you’re in the Midlands and you fancy playing dead, please come along to Phoenix Square at [...]
I’m really pleased to announce that I’ll be at this year’s GRIMM UP NORTH horror festival in Manchester. I’ll be there on Sunday 9th October.

You might remember me mentioning Iain McKinnon in my post about Grimmfest last month. I said you’d be hearing more about Iain, and here’s why: Permuted Press has just published his debut novel Domain of the Dead. I was honoured to be asked to write an introduction to the book, and you can see my endorsement [...]
