“Aside from the, let's say, elegant decor and ambience you've created in that monstrosity you call a gathering place inside, you and your men haven't been much more impressive to me than fucking Corny. I thought combining forces with some likeminded souls would be an enterprising partnership, but ultimately I'm feeling a bit disappointed.”

“Driving through the crowded city streets and gazing upon the bizarre stream of humanity had been quite an experience for the pair but walking amongst it, actually being trapped shoulder to shoulder with some of the city's freakish denizens was something entirely different.
Here the noise was amplified, loud with shouting, screaming, chattering, the sounds of traffic, the thundering of music from clubs and from hotted up car stereo systems, the wailing of sirens.
Miller felt diseased just striding amongst it, dressed in his blasphemous disguise.
Exiting the parking station was akin to being propelled into the outer rings of hell on a course which would launch he and Friar into the very bowels of the infernal pit AKA the Victory Ampitheatre where Satan's messengers would blast their horrendous music.
Sinister Cavan, coming in April in Axes of Evil”

“Clasped in his arms like some dead dancing partner was a bloated, festering corpse, a seaweed tangle of hair swirling around a fright mask of a face, ragged clothing hanging to an almost entirely skeletal frame.
David could almost hear mocking laughter issuing from the cavernous, busted hole mouth, and feel grasping bony fingers clinging to him, as the scream began to bubble out of him into the water. He dropped it and felt what was left of the bloated water-logged flesh began to come easily away from the bone.
From 'In the Darkest Hour'-as yet unpublished full length”

“They belonged in the land of surrealism, a nightmare eluded and left behind.
Now he was entrapped in a new nightmare sequence, a real here and now terror dream, a frightening distortion of reality fraught with horrible possibilities.”

All going great here, cheers. Keeping very busy with writing and promoting :) Richard Laymon is my number one inspiration and influence indeed. Book Depository is usually where I get most physical copies too, no shipping charge to Australia is always a bonus!

Cheers Andy, I certainly shall. I currently have a story in the heavy metal horror anthology Axes of Evil which is out now and a collab novel co-written by six authors (one of whom is me) is due out in a month or so. I have a collection of short stories in with the publisher at the moment, and I'm in the middle of writing two other full length novels. After that I have plans for many more. A lot of ideas to get out of my head.
Cheers again :)
