Reading-fest 1 – The Tree Devil.
I’ve been on the run from the caves for some time (more in another post shortly) and had a bit more time to read while I was hiding in hotel rooms, so I thought I’d share a few thoughts on some of the books I’ve been reading: The Tree Devil by Elizabeth Kay Rick is [...]
The Dead
Those of you who know me (and even many who don’t) are aware that I like my books dark, scary and utterly brilliant. So you can imagine how excited I am about The Dead by David Gatward, coming in July. Add this creepy new trailer to the mix, and I’m bouncing off the walls of [...]
THE CHILD THIEF

Not For The Squeamish

Second, here’s Play With Spider, a jolly little 3D Flash animation that’s fairly self-explanatory. Lead your furry friend by the movement of your mouse, by leaving out [...]
The Unspeakable Horror! Episode 2, by Andy Briggs
THE UNSPEAKABLE HORROR! a Trapped By Monsters story with art by David Melling (for Episode 1, click here) Episode 2, by Andy Briggs The grater made a SCUNCH sound across the hard cheese that set my teeth on edge, like nails drawn across slate. That was why I didn’t hear the voice the first time. ‘Guys? I’m [...]
PSP COMICS
I just received this cool poster for my graphic novel RITUAL – which is now available on Sony’s PSP, along with hundreds of other DIGITAL COMICS! If you are a PSP owner you can check it all out here – be warned though, RITUAL is not suitable for younger, and squeamish readers!
