School librarian by day. By night: book fanatic (prolific horror/YA book reviewer), snooker, boxing and tennis aficionado. Most of all: proud Scotsman and dad.

"The story opens at noon on one day and concludes fifteen horrendous hours later, with the last few hours a savage test of endurance and survival."

The Little Priests are crawling out of the hills. Dave Simms has now seen their full loathsomeness:
"Another winner. If someone is new to the author, this is a great entry point. It ranks on the same level as The Ritual and The Reddening"

MONUMENTAL. Publication day for my 13th horror novel. Also marking 10 years, to the month, of Ritual Limited. I started prepping Some Will Not Sleep in April 2016.
Paperback and eBook are now crawling across the earth. The audiobook will take flight imminently.
Get some.

COFFIN MOON is the best vampire I have read in YEARS. Keith Rosson totally nails this brilliant mid-70s set tale of brutal revenge, with a vamp so nasty it makes King's Barlow look like a teddy bear. Stunning. Here's my Horror DNA review. https://t.co/ttUjG0gc52
WEREWOLF MOVIE is sitting on ZERO Amazon reviews! I however award this bizarre & unique gem of a novella the rarely given 5/5 Horror DNA stars. Its more about aspiring late 80s musicians than werewolves, but its hypnotic, funny & a must for music lovers. https://t.co/QV5vJ16VAY
Amanda Casile's startling BROKEN TRAIL debut will put you off hiking for life. You should have gone to Disney Land girls! I got tired just reading it. @CamCatBooks

Canadian short story great @AZelenyj is back! His latest mini-collection BEWARE US FLOWERS OF THE DEVIL is a whacky intro to a guy who has written hundreds of genre bending weird tales. The review gives lots of top tips on where to start.
