New novella: A Chance of Snow

Summer's over, the nights are drawing in, leaves are falling, there's a slight chill in the air, winter's around the corner, Christmas is only three months away (where did the year go, right?), so what better time to officially launch my new novella A Chance of Snow?*

Here's the blurb:

"Struggling for survival in an abandoned city after a deadly outbreak, Jay one day chances upon something that will allow him access to the one remaining refuge, Station Island. To get there, though, he must cross the city of Horburg. No easy task, since Horburg’s streets are ruled by ruthless gangs. And there are worst dangers lurking in the alleyways and railway tunnels. Accompanied by his friend, Diamond, Jay will set out to face the city’s many pitfalls; a quest that will test their courage and allegiance to breaking point."

If this sounds like something you might enjoy reading one of these cold, dark nights you can pick it up here:  Amazon UK.  Amazon US.


*There will be absolutely no chance of snow in the South West of England where I live, but every year I keep on hoping.

IT

I love this poster for the film IT.

I'd been eagerly awaiting the release of this film even since it was announced some years ago. I enjoyed the book, which I read when I was about 20 or so, early in my Stephen King obsession which turned me on to horror.  Even then, I was infuriated by the ending (and one particular scene in particular which the two film versions have wisely discarded).

I enjoyed the film, but would have preferred a less is more approach with the horror as I didn't find it particularly scary.

Great poster though.
