New collection out now!
Hi everyone!
It's been a while since I did a blog post update here, but with my new collection, WHILE I WAS GONE, releasing this week, I felt it was time to put that right.
WHILE I WAS GONE features five stories (maybe also a hidden one) written during the past two years when I was undergoing cancer treatment.
The stories cover true crime, cryptids, folk horror, unexplained deep-sea sounds, and (of course) ghosts.
I hope you dig the stories!
Thanks for reading,
Andy

New review for REMAINS!
"Remains is undoubtedly one of the stand-out novels of 2019 which is drenched in bleakness with an overwhelming feeling of hopelessness until its final tragic moments. I rarely give books five stars but this stunner fully deserves that accolade and is one of the most distinct and original haunted house novels I have read in a while."
A huge thank you to Tony Jones for his review of my debut novel Remains.
