Another cracking THIS IS HORROR event! I had a great time in Edinburgh on Saturday, talking horror and reading a brand new AUTUMN short story to a very appreciative crowd. Writing, by its nature, can be a very solitary vocation, and it’s easy to lose the connection between author and reader. Doing these events always [...]

There [...]

We’ve even got T-shirts (but I’ll spare you a picture of me wearing mine this morning – primarily because I’m [...]

Many of you will already know about This is Horror – an excellent website which, in its short existence, has developed a large following and a reputation for being a key resource for finding out about all things horror. The founders [...]
