About the author
David Irons
31 books120 followersDavid Irons was the kid who went to his room to watch and read horror when his relatives came round. It paid off. When he left his room, he became an award-winning filmmaker and writer living on the south coast of England. His films, colourful and stylish in design, have won awards at the Cambridge Film festival, Las Vegas VIFF festival, and LA Independent Festival for cinematography, editing, writing, and directing. '7 Winters Alone' - a sci-fi, horror short - was a winner in David Lynch's 2014 Short Film Competition.
In 2019 David had his first novel, Night Waves, published, followed by Night Creepers, Polybius, and The Bloody Tracks of Bigfoot in 2020 - 2021 from Severed Press. Since then, David has become a Splatterpunk award-nominated writer for his '80s summer camp slasher, 'Don't Go To Wheelchair Camp.'
The moral of this story is to be weird and stay in your room. It pays off in the end.

A Horror Bookworm Recommendation
Candygram! Sickie Quickies Book 2 by David Irons
https://horrorbookwormreviews.com/
- It’s the summer of 1988, and ten-year-old best friends, Johnny and Dawn are enjoying a lazy sunny afternoon. Nearby, a scantily clad girl in a red outfit and roller-skates passes them to deliver her special red heart-shaped candygram. These special gifts of deception are delivered by this disturbing messenger of love.
- A rolling green mist comes from the sky and spreads a toxic pollution over a city. When paranoia, fear and hysteria emerge, so do shuffling and lumbering ghouls. As chaos rules, screams of terror echo through the night. The dead have arrived to stake their claim on the living!
- As infidelity enters the digital age, phone apps have created a temptation like no other. Untrustworthiness, dishonesty and deceit…these all play a roll in the deadliest of sexual satisfaction. Swipe right for a match made in Hell.
Welcome to a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind, a journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of Valentine’s Day. Ahead, you’re next stop, Candygram! Sickie Quickies Book 2. Delivered by that bizarre cupid himself, David Irons, this short story collection is enshrouded in lovely cringe-worthy moments that are all based around the holiday of pastel candies and blood red roses.
David Irons creates his own style of printed Sweetheart messages on each and every story, such as “Be Mine”, “I’m Yours” and “Jesus Wept.” Just returning from Wheelchair Camp, Irons proves that love and death is forever. Within these four morbid morsels, burning passions and ravenous mayhem come across as a gritty overexposed Polaroid photo. I devoured each unusual story like they were a Ferraro Rocher wrapped in dense blood-curdling goodness.
As you bite into those chocolate-covered cherry cordials, keep in mind this favorite quote, “Hello, Daddy. Hello, Mom. I’m your ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb!” When it comes to David Irons’ writing, what’s not to love? A five star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Horror Bookworm Recommendation.

Stories were interesting and entertaining. The book itself has weird page breaks, bad punctuation, and no page numbers or table of contents.
