Midsummer: Day 5


Another day of celebrating Midsummer for us! Well, sort of, as we were both at work today, so there wasn't a lot of celebrating. I did have a couple of nice seasonal things today though.

Darkness in the Fields: Midsummer




I really enjoyed tonight's Darkness in the Fields: Midsummer folk horror events - fascinating interviews with Kerry Hadley-Pryce and Mark Jenkin. Can't wait to see what tomorrow evening brings! Thanks to Alex Davis, Kelly White and Darrell Buxton for hosting and interviewing.

Midsummer Lemon Cake



Cake seems to be a bit of a theme this Midsummer. But I couldn't resist this lemon cake from the Spar shop today!

OUT NOW: The Fourth BHF Book of Horror Stories, ed. by Darrell Buxton (BHF Book of Horror Stories, 2021)

A new collection of short stories inspired by British horror films, including 'Delivery' by yours truly...


The moon is full... the witching hour approaches... time to devour sacrificial offerings anew!

Drug-induced paranoia brings familiar television figures to sinister life...

Something nasty dwells beneath the floorboards of a country cottage, awaiting the new tenants...

An unexpected postal delivery leads to the uncovering of an ancient vampire's legacy...

Strange surgical practces are employed to remove a deadly tumour - with post-op consequences...

Over thirty new tales of terror emerge from the tomb! The weird world of British horror cinema inspires this latest collection of distrubing fiction, putting fresh spins on a cornucopia of chilling characters last glimpsed through the haze of late night television or encountered at menacing midnight movie marathons. Dare you venture beyond the silver screen, into a nightmarish new dimension bringing all your frightening favourites to the printed page? Be brave, be bold... or be buried!
