A classic science fiction masterpiece… with a Cthulhu Mythos twist. 

First published in 1896, H. G. Wells classic novel tells of a shipwrecked Englishman, Edward Prendick stranded on the South Pacific island-home of Doctor Moreau, a notorious physiologist who practiced gruesome experiments in vivisection transforming animals into human hybrids. But Wells’ published version omitted the most gruesome details.

Published for the first time, this reportedly true version of Prendick’s adventure, recen...

My latest Cthulhu Mythos short story collection is out and available on Amazon and Kobo, CTHULHU UNMASKED. 

These stories while set in the Harrison Peel universe (and the wider Cthulhu Mythos universe) don’t feature Peel himself, but include several characters, Outer Gods, tomes, locations and cults that also appear in the main Peel series. 

These tales are reprints, but I’ve gone back and revised and edited them all. 

Stories include “Sister of the Sands”, “The Swelling”, “From the Sick Trees”, “T...

Well, I've been blown away by how quickly CTHULHU RELOADED has been selling since its release today, both in paperback and eBook format. 

So if you like a mix of espionage and military action, weird science fiction, and Lovecraftian nightmarish and alien gods, check it out...

Thank you everyone for your support in finally getting a complete Har...

I have two new Harrison Peel books out now at Amazon (Kindle) and Smashwords (ePub).

The Elder Codex  (Book 3) Harrison Peel’s third collection of adventures features two novellas set against the backdrop of war torn Africa:

The Elder Codex — When ripples in the fabric of space-time warp reality in Somilia, Peel investigates, and retraces his past in the ruins of devastated land.

I’m appearing in a new anthology out later in the year, Tides of Possibility , formulated from the idea that the rise of the indie author is upon us, that many of those authors write science fiction. This is an anthology to celebrate the success of the new form of 21st Century SF writer, and I’m glad to be a part of it.

The sheer variety of exoplanets is making us rethink science fiction. The variety of alien terrains that heroic space adventurers will now be subjected to is likely to be more bizarre than anything we’ve yet encountered, or at least that is what David Kernot and I think.

Therefore, in celebration of the recent release of our book Extreme Planets, the first anthology of exoplanet tales featuring carbon planets, water worlds, super-Earths and lava planets, we would like to draw your attention t...

I've recently appeared in "The Eldritch Force" A Cthulhu Mythos Round Robin with Peter Rawlik, Glynn Owen Barrass, Brian M. Sammons, Bruce L. Priddy, Robert M. Price, Rick Lai and myself. This one features superheros in a Post World War Two setting.

This is my second publication with Lovecraft eZine, and I'm proud to have teamed up with such a talented bunch of authors.

I’ve recently been involved in a Indiegogo sponsorship campaign for a new anthology I’m appearing in:

Extreme Planets is now out, and available from Amazon. Gardner Dozois says of the book in Locus, "The anthology does contain a lot of solid, entertaining, core SF"
      
Here is an extract from David Kernot and my contribution to the anthology, "Petrochemical Skies" set on a carbon planet.
