I am delighted to announce the publication of my debut novel The Unusual Possession of Alastair Stubb (gothic/magical realism).Here is the blurb:
The Unusual Possession of Alastair Stubb is a gothic terror of the highest order, delivering a dream-like and hallucinatory reading experience that promises to reveal secrets both disturbing and astonishing.
Do you dare meet the Stubbs?
A weird and wonderful gothic tale that will enthral any fan of Mervyne Peake and magical realism. The Stubbs will terrify and delight every reader. By turns thrilling, disturbing and seductive.The Unusual Possession of Alastair Stubb
Thank you for your interest.
Hi, I've been recommending my own book again to my Goodreads friends (well, you would, wouldn't you... ;-) and think that again, I might have recommended it more than once to some people, seeing as I've been recommending different days and I don't think Goodreads remembered the first ones.... if you see what I mean...Basically, if you've received more than one recommendation for Two Dogs At The One Dog Inn from me, I do apologise.
Hi, I've been recommending my own book Two Dogs At The One Dog Inn to all my friends on Goodreads. But I've had the idea I might be recommending more than once to the same person - if so, I'm really sorry about that - hope it doesn't get on your nerves....If you enjoy magical realism with a dose of literary paranormal though, there's a good chance you will enjoy reading the novella Two Dogs At The One Dog Inn. :-)
