About the author
Tim Reed
17 books51 followersTim Reed whittles the week away by frowning over reports as a technical editor, but once the moon rises, he transforms into a werebeast of writer proportions. He has gobbled classic and contemporary novels for many years and uses them as inspiration for his own writing, mainly in the horror, fantasy and sci-fi realms.
His published works include epic fantasy novel 'Summons of the Majestic' and his dark fantasy/horror ode to The Magic Faraway Tree, entitled 'What Glimmers in the Wood'.
One day, he dreams of forming his own Inklings club, creating his own Mythos or generally accepting $1 for film rights to any of his books. So no pressure.
In the meantime, he lives in relative tranquility with his wife in sunny London, musing on how to write messed-up weird fiction without having to resort to opium. He cites Tolkien, Blackwood, Herbert, Lovecraft and King as influences.
Outside of writing, Tim enjoys many hobbies - too many, for the writer within; these include most sports, being a snooty film buff, being an equally snooty theatre/museum goer, and building shrines to Bruce Campbell (one of these is untrue). He enjoys great food, good family and loves the little, peaceful things in life.

I read this as I ususally love anything about the tube. I found it more unpleasant than thrilling, although it does say horror not thriller. I guess I'm not a big believer in karma, or keen on horror stories about real events
