THE BLACK ROOM MANUSCRIPTS Vol 2

Today, Mr Postie almost beat down my door to hand me a very special package. What I found inside made my heart leap:

Launching at Horror Con 2016 this weekend, THE BLACK ROOM MANUSCRIPTS Vol 2 from The Sinister Horror Company is also available on Amazon from 9th July. You can already pre-order it here in the UK and here in the US.

I'm immensely humbled that my bitter tragedy, The Vile Glib of Gideon Wicke is included in this stunning anthology, especially as all profits from sales are going to Alzheimer's Research UK, who work so hard to help defeat dementia.

Speaking as an author, the owners/editors at The Sinister Horror Company truly are a pleasure to work with. Their professionalism has been consistent at every stage of the publishing process, they're supportive and - something I personally find important - they take the time to communicate regularly with the anthology contributors. I hope I have the opportunity to collaborate with them again in the future.

The book features stories from world-renowned authors such as Shaun Hutson, Graham Masterton and William Meikle. It includes tales from Jasper Bark, Laura Mauro, Paul M. Feeney, Sam Stone, Rich Hawkins, Matt Shaw and many more.

Below is the opening page of The Vile Glib of Gideon Wicke. Enjoy the horror.
