About the author
Hayleigh Barclay
2 books9 followersHayleigh Barclay (b.1987) was born in the west coast of Scotland where she currently still resides spending much of her day being bossed around by two Scottish Terriers. She obtained a BA (hons) in Broadcast Production from the University of the West of Scotland in 2009. After taking a year out she gained an MA in Creative Media Practices from the same university, focusing on script writing, directing and producing for film, TV and radio. In 2011 she undertook a Doctorate of Fine Arts at the University of Glasgow where her thesis investigated how 19th century Gothic vampire literature influences contemporary Goths.
Basically, she knows a lot about vampires!
From a young age she aspired to be a Spice Girl but her family were thrilled when she decided to give up that dream (considering she cannot sing!).
Her debut novel, Girl of the Ashes, written as the main part of her thesis, will be released October 2020.
An avid disability rights campaigner, she has championed issues related to education, travel, and media representation.

A friend of mine features in this book, so my review may be tarnished, hence why I am writing this disclaimer at the start. Know that I consciously am writing as truthfully as I can.
Having only bought the book for my friends contributions, I was pleasantly surprised by the end of the first short story. Every piece of work in here is worth the time to read, and there are enough contributions to cater to everyones tastes.
Each piece of work is the perfect length to read during a quick break, while the book it self makes you want to keep reading to see what else has been printed.
Oh, and it’s all for charity, so you know. Bonus!
Tl;Dr - It’s a great read for everyone. Pick it up!
