Launch day! 🎉 Finally reading my own book Dead Easy: Edgar Allan Poe Retold. Poe’s creepiest tales — now in plain English. Just 99¢ this week (Sept 9–16). #horror #gothicfiction #EdgarAllanPoe

Poe’s 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue' is often called the first detective story — long before Sherlock Holmes.

The narrators in these stories aren’t just unreliable — they’re utterly unhinged. And that’s half the fun.

Today’s update: translating 19th-century paranoia into 21st-century nightmares. Poe would’ve loved it.

What I love about Dead Easy is how the horror hits faster. You get straight to the madness, murder, and Poe’s eerie brilliance.

I’ve been neck-deep in The Pit and the Pendulum — and even in modern English, that swinging blade makes your skin crawl.

Who knew The Masque of the Red Death could feel even more chilling with plain English and a sharper pace?

Poe’s The Tell-Tale Heart is still a masterclass in insanity. In this version, the guilt bleeds through in every line.

Just finished modernising The Black Cat — it’s still creepy as hell, just easier to understand now. The narrator? Definitely mad.

Finished. The Bell Tower Suite took more from me than I expected. If you’ve read it, let me know what you thought.

The Bell Tower Suite traps more than spirits. It traps cycles—revenge, grief, and ghosts that return every hundred years.

Everything changed when the portrait became clear. The judge was no stranger after all…

What’s worse than a ghost? A ghost who used to be a judge. With unfinished business.

Quote: “The rat’s face was a miniature human effigy, fixed with the vilest mania that had animated him in life.” 🐀

Lightning over the Cloud Estate. Shadows moving on their own. The smell of candle wax and fear.

Sibyl’s past haunts her more than the mansion does. A childhood in Africa. A promise never to let anyone she loves die again…

You might say I have an affinity for spirits,” said Mortimer. “Infinity?” said Bert. “That’s a lot of booze, mate.” 🍷

Nyssa isn’t just a cat. He’s something far older—and braver. One of my favourite characters.

Colonel Mortimer isn’t afraid of ghosts. He probably should be.

Sibyl smells sorcery. That’s never a good sign. Especially not in a mansion like this…

Quote: “The door creaked open on its own, a sound more suggestive of a tomb than a room.” 👀

Back in the Bell Tower Suite. I’ve rewritten this ghost story from top to tail—new scenes, darker magic, deeper secrets. Would you spend a night in a haunted suite? FREE on Amazon 7-8-9 May
