 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.
Steve
