FRESH BLOOD

Later this year my short story Tear of Blood will make an appearance in an anthology of vampiric tales titled, Fresh Blood. The story has been revised since its original publication in Reflections magazine earlier this year. Fresh Blood is a new and exciting venture for me as it is made up of other writers who write vampire fiction and are gathered together via Facebook. Like the videos I have done to promote We Belong Dead, I have 'drafted' a video to promote the book:

And here is the cover of said book.

I shall bring you more details as and when I know them myself. At the same time as this is launched, Reflections Magazine should be publishing my completely revised and updated version of Hairy Toes and again I'm really excited about that. Current pieces under construction are a re-examination of Universal's 1936 horror film Dracula's Daughter and short story A Matter of Life for Death. This story is a direct follow on to Tear of Blood and will be offered to Reflections Magazine as the next story for issue 19. I also have a draft for a fourth story in the Jackson Heylt storyline and will make it a quadrilogy  :)
If I decided to use the draft the storyline will be: God and the Damned, Tear of Blood, A Matter of Life for Death and (provisional title) The Victim's Voice.

We Belong Dead Issue 11

We Belong Dead Issue 11 is out now. My piece on Universal's 1934 Classic 'The Black Cat' has been honoured with a full colour front cover:

I am so proud that after nearly thirty years of writing, I have finally accomplished one of my dreams - To have a front cover dedicated to my work. My piece on The Raven will be in issue 12. I have made a sorta special video to promote issue 11 and it is linked below. I shall be doing more 'interesting' stuff for The Raven.
