Scratch Moss by David Barnett | Canelo Paperback and Ebook

As it’s now February I can finally say SCRATCH MOSS is out next month www.canelo.co/books/scratc...

Just a quick note for anyone interested that three of my books are currently only £1 or 99p on Kindle: THE LODGE, STOLEN and THE KILLING CLUB. Not sure how long those deals will last for.

There but for the grace of God go all of us.

Definite nightmare fuel, this one.

YA fiction, but well worth some adult attention. Jamesian and folky in tone, ultra scary and richly evocative of rural England in the old days: hot summers, village spells, carved lychgates and ancient, ancestral curses. Sumptuously spooky.

‘A former civilian analyst, she was the only one among the island’s guests who’d never seen a real-life murder victim, and could only clutch the rope loosely, her eyes locked with horror on the mutilated form...’

EBOOK STILL ONLY 99p

Said it before and will say it again. Dead spit for the murderous Bunny Man.

An emphasis on ‘kitchen sink’ horror pitches us everywhere from an unruly schoolroom to a backstreet Quidstore, but evil always lurks close by. A range of expertly crafted chillers.

We've got some very exciting events happening as part of the UK GHOST STORY FESTIVAL in-person at QUAD, Derby this year, and here's what you can look forward to on our Friday and Saturday nights! www.derbyquad.co.uk/ukgsf/ #derby #derbyshire #events #festival #festival #ghosts #ghoststories

More a rural thriller than a trad hillbilly horror, townsfolk called to avenge their slain when the cops renege. A real-world atmosphere, deep characters and stronger than usual emotions enrich the Southern Gothic vibe. paulfinch-writer.blogspot.com/2023/11/chec...

Templar Traitor's 99p for a few more days only! www.amazon.co.uk/Templar-Trai...

Only came out last Halloween, Steve. Worry not. Plenty available.

Another corking review of TERROR TALES OF CHAOS. We're cooking with gas today.

Could not be any more delighted with this review. The anthology focuses on #monsters of #legend and #folklore, and this write-up gets deep into it. Thanks very much to @gnofhorror.com.

We are so excited to reveal the cover for ALL HALLOWS’ EVE! 🕸️

Horror legend Ellen Datlow presents this chilling anthology of 19 original short stories from a world-class line-up of authors, delving into the histories and traditions of the spookiest season of the year…

Coming September 2026 🎃

Always thought Mike looked like a bit of a chimp, myself.

My dad was always a "If you got up there on your own, you can get down on your own" sort of man. Fantastic father. Terrible air traffic controller ...
Stolen from somewhere. Can't remember where. Sorry.

'Sinister and malevolent ...' 'Breathless and often gruesome ...' '...an exemplary exercise in style and a fast, compelling read.'
Blown away by this review of THE LODGE on CRIMETIME.
www.crimetime.co.uk/to-the-max-j...

Hell lets loose across several continents. One of the best @valancourtbooks.bsky.social publications yet. A spectrum of nationalities lines up to torture us with their worst nightmares. A smorgasbord of international scare-fare. My full review: paulfinch-writer.blogspot.com/2021/04/at-l...

A mob saga in lyrical prose and a journey in a journey as an enforcer travels east to west, finding himself in the process. Crisp, punchy character-work and terrifying stakes add up to a whole lot more than a hard-assed thriller. Unmissable. Full review: paulfinch-writer.blogspot.com/2020/08/the-...

You're more than welcome, Giles. It was a great read.

Flame Tree Press Witchcraft anthology

This gorgeous thing is available right now! Edited by @marieoregan.bsky.social and @paulkane.bsky.social, it's... bewitching!

Love it when old images come to light. The cast from CROSS AND FIRE, my first play, originally performed at the Water Heyes Studio, #Wigan in 1991. Set during the 100 Years War, it focussed on the 4 English soldiers charged with burning #JoanOfArc, and their fears that she might be a saint.

Interesting to see Inspector Morse - House of Ghosts by Alma Cullen is touring again. It was on in Oxford this week 16 years after I played that part in it at the same theatre. Good play - well worth a revival.

Ultra grim tale of envy and ambition, which chills you to the bone and punches you in the gut. Demonic chiller par excellence, courtesy of @gilesbluntbooks.bsky.social. Sinister from the outset but rising to a true crescendo of horror. My full review: paulfinch-writer.blogspot.com/2021/01/ever...

Spiderlight is another incredible book from @aptshadow.bsky.social 🕷️

I can’t believe how much I cared for a spider in human form, but then again, I shouldn’t be surprised.

This is a fantastic standalone for DnD & classic quest lovers (with a twist): fanfiaddict.com/review-spide...
