 Hi, I'm Steve.
Ugly
looking dude aren't I? Anyway, welcome to my site.
I
have been a horror fan all of my life and as a child I loved reading
ghost stories and watched more than my fair share of
Frankenstein films from behind the sofa.
Nothing's
changed much over the years, except that I now watch the films from the
right side of the sofa, and that I write a little bit too. In the past
I have written all sorts of things including
poetry and magazine articles. The thing that I like to write
most of all, though, is horror and so that is what I
try to concentrate on.
In
2006 I managed to get accepted as an affiliate
member of the Horror Writers Association , using my story Stalker as
qualifying material. Stalker was published in a
UK Women's magazine called Best (2005).
Obviously, for that market I had to tone things down a bit, though.
So,
that's me: an ugly dude who likes horror.
Because
I enjoy horror so much and read and watch such a lot of
it, I have added some book and DVD reviews to the
site. The book review section is updated on a weekly basis
because I read a lot. The DVD review section is updated less
frequently. Hopefully the reviews sections might be a
useful guide, though, for helping people to decide if a
particular film or book will be of interest to them.
 A lot of older
films now fall into the public domain and can be passed around freely.
I love the old, classic horror films. I know that I am not
alone in this and so the site also has a
section that contains download links for some classic chillers from the
days when special effects weren't that special, but ,with people like
Vincent Price in front of the camera, they didn't need to be anyway.
The
'My Stuff' section of the site lists my
own publication credits. There's not a lot there,
but I am trying hard and you can't blame a guy for trying.
Hope
you find something useful on the site.
