Heartwood: A Mythago Wood Anthology - Robert Holdstock tribute

I'm utterly thrilled to announce that my latest book, Heartwood: A Mythago Wood Anthology , will be published by PS Publishing later this month! We'll have copies on the PS table at Worldcon later this week - so if you're in Glasgow, it's the perfect time to pick up a copy (there will be a group table signing at 1pm on Saturday, at the PS Publishing table in the Dealers' Room). If you're not in Glasgow, there's a pre-order link below. Robert Holdstock's Mythago Wood was published in 1984, and went on to win both the World Fantasy Award and British Fantasy Award. It's an incredible masterwork of modern fantasy, combined with elements of horror, sci-fi and folklore, and a book that's always been dear to me. In his Introduction to the anthology Michael Moorcock calls it "the outstanding fantasy book of its time", and I'd have to agree! I've spent the last two years working with Holdstock's estate and some of the ...

For Tomorrow: the Wellbrook High Yearbook 1993 - new anthology out now!

It's finally here! My latest anthology, For Tomorrow , hit shelves last week - and it's already getting rave reviews.

These relatively young people are, through very little fault of their own, now marked in some way. This was the type of collection where I thought I’ll just try one and then found a few hours later I’d devoured it in one sitting! ... For Tomorrow I think is one of the creepiest collections I’ve read, managing to offer varied and powerful stories and yet at no time is it ever clear what did happen in 1993 at Wellbrook, which makes it even by the end more ominous and sinister. I do wonder if we could find more lost pupils from that school in the future, but this is a standout modern horror collection well ...

Books News - Writing the Uncanny with Dead Ink this September!

Despite the effects of our various lockdowns, school closures and self-isolation, this past year has been surprisingly fruitful. I have an anthology coming out with Unsung Stories at the end of the summer, Out of the Darkness , raising funds and awareness for mental health charity Together for Mental Wellbeing. I also have a brand new story coming in Mark Morris's excellent, high-profile anthology Beyond the Veil , published by Flame Tree this October. Earlier this month, another long-term book project was finally announced. Alongside Richard V. Hirst, I've co-edited a book called Writing the Uncanny for Dead Ink Books. Published this September, it works as a guide for both the reader of the Uncanny and the writer wanting to write strange stories. There's an intro from Richard and myself, essays from some of the best writers of weird, unsettling fiction, and lists of suggested further reading for those wishing to expand their knowledge of the genre. You can see more detail...
