My brilliant string of luck with covers for my books continues. I’ve just seen the one for ‘Shadows and Other Tales’, and it is absolutely superb. Looking forward to posting that one on my home page.

My story ‘Night Game’ — set in the imaginary Midlands town of Shaddaton (shadow town, geddit?) — has appeared in Black Static #5. If you don’t yet subscribe to the UK’s leading horror magazine, why not consider it? More can be discovered by going to Links and visiting ‘TTA Press’.

If you want a sneak preview of ‘Dark Rain’, then go to the Eos/Harpercollins website and click on ‘The Eos Reader’.

Oh, and talking of TTA Press, they have just bought ‘Pages From a Broken Book’, my third story set in the fictitious town — I’m rather fond of those places — called Birchiam-on-Sea. It will appear in, yes, Black Static.

This fall will not only see the publication of ‘Dark Rain’. It will see the US publication of a huge collection of my tales, both classical and modern. ‘Shadows and Other Tales’ will be appearing from Dark Regions Press, and will showcase twenty one examples of my fiction, including a full-length novella and my acclaimed novelette ‘A Night in Tunisia’. It has a foreword by yours truly, and I even wrote the back-cover blurb!
