The Hellebore Guide to Occult Britain
How hard has it been not to talk about this? Really quite hard. Introducing The Hellebore Guide To Occult Britain, a true labour of love exploring castles, museums and manor houses, megaliths, moors, mountains and lakes. This lavishly illustrated travel guide covers the rich history of magic and the occult in Britain and its inextricable bond with the landscape.
Having grown up on the legendary Reader’s Digest book of Folklore, Myths and Legends – terrifying myself with those illustrations – to contribute to a project like this was a dream come true.
“Somewhere over the muffling snow, church bells were ringing…”
Today’s the day! Lore & Disorder: thirteen tales of mutated folklore by some of my favourite authors, plus some fae weirdness from me. Pay what you can, all in aid of FareShare UK.
See you in London
I’ll be at MCM Comic Con on Friday the 22nd of October, talking ghost stories with Tiffani Angus, R.A. Williams, and Kim Newman! Come and say hi. We’ll be signing books at the Forbidden Planet stand afterwards.
Short, sharp shocks
Throughout October, I’ll be posting spooky shorts on Patreon for my $1 patrons. Patreon is the main way I make money from my writing, so if you’ve ever wanted to check out my patron-only archives, $1 a month is a wonderful way to support me. You’ll also get a signed bookmark.
The Ghastling: Book 14
Happy Halloween! In book 14 of The Ghastling, you’ll find my tale of haunted sailors: The Fireman.
The Anvil has been anchored off Majorca for a week and a day. None may go ashore and none may board us...
Hellebore Vol.6
Games of cards that usher in cloven-footed strangers. Runic inscriptions that conjure up demons. A communal warning uttered every Bonfire Night.
I’m thrilled as always to contribute to Hellebore, particularly in time for Halloween. My piece, Conjuring The Cunning Man, follows the strange afterlife of an Essex folk hero known to his neighbours as ‘The Old Bastard’.
The Summoning Issue is available for pre-order now.
Lore & Disorder
God, I love a good pun.
Coming soon! Very soon. A new anthology of mutated folklore fiction, courtesy of editors Magda Knight and Rym Kechacha, featuring my story Something Borrowed.
I can promise it’s going to be a wyrd ride. Look at that author lineup.
It’s here! Thank you to everyone who backed the Kickstarter. Unsung Stories raised a fine sum for Together For Mental Wellbeing. All royalties will continue to go to the charity, so if you missed the fundraising campaign, there’s still time to grab a paperback or an ebook.
