My Stories

I’m delighted that /Garbage-File has reviewed my collection of short stories, Fragments, and deemed it well worth your money. If you like psychological horror that is gore-free but leaves you feeling decidedly uncomfortable, then this is for you. My favourite bit was when the reviewer described one of my stories as ‘car-crash reading’. 🙂 It’s…

Fragments is a collection of deliciously disturbing tales of psychological horror, featuring ghosts, supernatural creatures, and most terrifying of all, humans. Fragments is now available via Amazon for the Kindle or via Smashwords for all e-reader formats. C.R. Smith and I published Fragments a couple of years ago but originally it was only available on…

Book reviews are a bit behind. I have got a couple to do and I’ve nearly finished War and Peace. But the real reason I haven’t been posting here as often as I’d like is that I’ve been writing this: The London Storytelling Group Carrion Crown Campaign As a shared world writing experience – i.e.…

I said in a previous post that I would share the artwork that was used for the cover of Fragments. So, here it is. It was designed by my co-author, C. R. Smith, whose other work can be found on his DeviantArt page. I really like it and I like it more each time I…

The format is pdf which…

I have two of my short stories on this blog: Innocent, which was published in a now-defunct ‘zine, and Hell, which wasn’t published anywhere. Both have moved over to my brand-new DeviantArt page, http://boudicam.deviantart.com/. I’ll be posting more vignettes soon. I think I’ll also add the introduction to my new work-in-progress, Wormfeeder.

A while ago, Pantechnicon accepted a second short story from me. The Third Step was supposed to go into Issue 9 but didn’t make it. Then Pantechnicon had to close and I thought, well, that’s that then. I suppose I better send it off to some other places. I didn’t. Life has been very much…

I followed Tanya across the crowded cafe to the table she’d spotted. A plastic pot of chicken salad and a bottle of sparkling water rolled around on my fake wooden tray. It wasn’t so much about being healthy as it was about wanting an empty stomach later. “So, what’s the plan for tonight?” I said…

After being offline since November due to hacking (surely there are more deserving sites?), Pantechnicon is back! My second published story, The Third Step, will be out in Issue 9 and I’ll post a link when it’s available. My first story, Innocent, is still on their website.
