Innovative Horror discussion

So, Falling Over, my new collection of short stories from Infinity Plus is out now... Very excited, as you can imagine. And I hope, in its own way, it is innovative horror.



Sometimes when you fall over you don’t get up again. And sometimes, you get up to find everything has changed:

An ordinary man who sees his face in a tabloid newspaper. A soldier haunted by the images of those he has killed from afar. Two petty criminals on the run from a punishment more implacable than either of them can imagine. Doppelgängers both real and imaginary. A tranquil English village where those who don’t fit in really aren't welcome, and a strange hotel where second chances are allowed… at a price.

Ten stories of unease, fear and the weird from James Everington.

“Good writing gives off fumes, the sort that induce dark visions, and Everington’s elegant, sophisticated prose is a potent brew. Imbibe at your own risk.” Robert Dunbar, author of The Pines and Martyrs & Monsters

“Everington is excellent at evoking a mounting sense of unease, turning to dread, that close, oppressive feeling when everything is still and ordinary, but the whole world is filled with the sense that something huge and terrible is just about to happen.” Iain Rowan, author of One Of Us and Nowhere To Go

I'm pretty excited about this one.

I hope sales go well for you, James! :)

Thanks Charlene - should you ever be in 'sunny' England at any point, the drinks are on me :)

Cheers Randolph

So, MR Cosby has kindly picked one if the stories from Falling Over as one of his favourites from 2013 so far... (Interestingly, the story itself, called New Boy, I almost didn't include).

The list also features Ramsey Campbell so I'm in very good company!

I loved that story too. :)

You should check out the Lauren James book mentioned on that post, Charlene, I think you'd love it.

"It’s a special moment when you read a new author and immediately get the feeling that you’re onto something special and such was the case here. The stories in this collection are evidence of great talent at work, both emotionally and intellectually stimulating."
