“We pushed upriver into hell. We walked where nothing made sense. We lived a while in the company of madness.”
Centuries after civilisation collapses, survivors cling to the British coastline, trapped between the ocean and the Bloom, a parasitic and predatory flora that releases a mind-destroying toxin.
Surviving in the ruins, where packs of highly evolved dogs now dominate, scavenger Braska is captured and taken to the nearby stronghold of Crayport, where it is discovered that she has a dangerous secret. One that powerful matriarch Mother Cray is eager to exploit.
When Braska is sent back into the wastelands with a volatile crew of her own captors —including the tenacious Temlyn and the obdurate Faron — she must play an unwilling guide while fighting tooth and nail for survival. Something lies at the end of the trail, but will the answers prove to be worth the sacrifice?

The cover for Sleepy Jack, my spooky, silly, heartfelt adventure for all ages, will be revealed on Halloween night! But just for fun, I'm posting a little jigsaw teaser every day.
Here's the second piece!
Bottom right, an eerie delight!
What a treat, a cover reveal incoming and a spooky story for the whole family from the wonderfully talented author of The Tales of Terror and Torment. You're going to love this one.
Fella can't count for toffee but he can sure as shit can write. Fortunately @GetFalcontext does the counting for him, iffy as those numbers are.
Don’t usually post word-count stuff, but as a horror writer this one’s irresistible. And what a clean-looking page @GetFalcontext provides🤘🏼❤️

Writing Stick Man delivers yet another inventive and entertaining review. This time in the form of the incredible Weak in the Head, brought vividly to life by really thin pencil people. Take a look for yourselves and give it the thumbs up and a follow, and go and buy this book.
A new episode of Let's Read an Indie is up, looking at the brutal and bloody 'Weak in the Head' by @Hart_Horrors
Another entry to the Hartmouth Horrors brings us a camping trip on the moors and a psycho, inbred family. What could go wrong?

another banger review of one of the nastiest, least fucks given horror series out there.
Jan can write like hell… and put you through hell with equally vicious skill.
