The Routledge Companion to Folk Horror

This was published a little too late for me to consult for β€˜Stories of the Stones,’ but am very pleased the paperback edition arrived today. Hoping to write something on folk horror soon!

Scratch Moss: The most original folk horror novel of the year from the author of Withered Hill Scratch Moss: The most original folk horror novel of the year from the author of Withered Hill : Barnett, David: Amazon.co.uk: Books

If you think you might have a tenner available at the beginning of March for a paperback (or under a fiver for an ebook) what you could do is pre-order SCRATCH MOSS today -- you won't be charged until it's shipped and if there are loads of pre-orders it'll make me look dead good.

Julia Roberts to narrate new BBC series Leonard and Hungry Paul The feel-good series follows two board-gaming friends in their thirties who meander through leafy suburban life finding solace in their quiet routines

I know I'm banging on.

But we have to because we're a small press and need this limelight to let readers know about our books.

From Hebden to Hollywood via Dublin.

As RΓ³nΓ‘n said. 'It's like throwing a dart from Dublin and hitting the bullseye in New York.'
