 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.
