Scott Tyson is a new voice in the field of Australian horror. Born and bred in the central tablelands of New South Wales, Australia, Scott found his passion for writing at an early age, but it wasn’t until a few years ago that he began to take it a little more seriously.

Eads forces us into that world, making us feel as if the unthinkable has happened.

And that's what makes this story (and the wr Read more of this blog post »
