This is just terrible. If I was that writer (the first guy), I think there'd have been blood on the podium.
Here's a wonderful review of MIND THE GAP by the very wonderful Charles de Lint. This one made my day, I can tell you ...
A slew of updates coming soon, watch this space.
Here's a great review for FALLEN, recently posted at Dread Central by Johnny Butane. Thanks Johnny!
And close on the heels of the FALLEN cover comes this, the Allison & Busby cover for my horror novel THE EVERLASTING. This one (along with the hardback of FALLEN) is due out at the beginning of August. I think it's very spooky, and A&B have done a wonderful job.
I'm so excited about seeing these books hits the shelves in the UK - been waiting for this for a long time! - and there'll be more news soon about signings & other events.
So here's my cover the for Allison & Busby UK hardback edition of FALLEN, out in just a few short weeks. Yes, the perceptive among you will notice a slight similarity with the US edition ... but it's redesigned, and I think it looks gorgeous. There's a quote still to go on the cover, so it'll look different again on the finished product.
Here's a great new review for FALLEN. Really, if you haven't bought it yet, I want to know why...

The book launch for the UK hardback edition of FALLEN, along with the mass market paperback of THE EVERLASTING (both from Allison & Busby) will be at Abergavenny Bookshop on Saturday August 2nd, followed - if you're so inclined - by a couple of pints at the Hen & Chickens. More details coming soon!
And they act like this is a surprise?
Spent an enjoyable day yesterday at the Univerity of Glamorgan where they held a day dedicated to all things Fantastic. I met up with a load of old friends and made some new ones, bought and sold some books, then rounded off with an excellent Chinese meal with Steve Volk and his friend Piers, a fascinating and charming Space Historian. Hats off to Louise from Academi who organised the whole shebang - it was fantastic! Same time next year!
Before the meal we had a walk around Llandaff Cathedral, who I noticed are launching an appeal for £1,500,000. Hmm, I thought, starting a school-building project in Africa? Perhaps sending aid to Burma? But no. They want a new organ. £1.5m. There's lots I should say but ... words fail me.
This morning at breakast, my daughter's tooth fell out into her scrambled egg. Me, I'm a hard horror writer ... and I almost fainted. Yeah, bet that shatters your illusions of me, eh?
So it looks as if even the aliens are coming to the conference tomorrow (see previous posting)! Should be a good turn out, from Cardiff, Newport, and Betelgeuse.
I'm taking part in a great conference this coming Saturday at the University of Glamorgan, Treforest. It's called 'space time machine monster', and it's a celebration of all aspects of fantastic creativity, from short stories through to novels, screenplays and artwork.
My own contribution is called Fright Write, during which I'll be reading from my forthcoming UK release The Everlasting, and chatting about the horror genre today.
Also attending will be Philip Gross, Steve Lockley, Rhys Hughes, Jasper Fforde, Catherine Fisher, Steve Volk, Andrew Cartmel and many others.
There are a million worse ways you could be spending your Saturday, and it's only a fiver to come in for the day. There's a coffee shop in the venue, and you get to buy books. Diary. Enter. Now.
