About my ‘strange stories’…

The writer I most admire is the dark fiction realm is Robert Aickman, who called his short fictions strange stories. My stories also fit into this genre. Like Aickman, violence and gore hold little interest for me. What for me is more terrifying, is the human mind under duress. I like writing that makes you question what is real. Thomas Ligotti is another writer I admire who does that very well.

I’d like to thank both Matthew E Rees former editor of Horla and writer of excellent short stories, and David Longhorn, author and sagacious editor of Supernatural Tales, for their encouragement. I am working slowly towards creating a collection of my published short stories.
