Elizabeth - hand-crafted unique dolls & more

She intended to solve the mystery of her death and find the cutthroat responsible. For a violent end she believed she had suffered".

"Lily awoke to find herself a ghost, her life expired within the boundaries of her very own garden, Dressing herself in the foliage and flowers that she had tended to by hand, she readied herself".

In memory of Charles M. Schulz, creator of Snoopy and the Peanuts gang, who passed away 26 years ago today, hours before his final Peanuts Sunday comic strip ran in newspapers around the world.⁠ 💛

Only one more story to write and the manuscript for Tales of Unease 2 is complete. Then it's revision and artist Jack Rabbit getting to work on the illustrations. Tales of Unease is also being slightly edited, to be printed by the end of this year.

After being gifted another Perky Pal dog statue (the one of the left in the photo), I decided that another story should be written putting the two pups together - the one of the right featuring in the original story.

"Jennifer's eyes widened as she glanced upon its strange but endearing countenance. "Oh My God..."".
Perky Pal (Another Surprise Discovery) from upcoming Tales of Unease 2 is a sequel to the tale 'Surprise Discovery' from Tales of Unease.

Parking, a story from upcoming Tales of Unease 2 was inspired by the car in the photo here, that I discovered in a park randomly. It was a striking image that I felt deserved to be written about.

Image of a burnt out car sitting on a paved road, surrounded by grass and trees, with a water filled ditch in the foreground.

"Kate felt the gaze hot on her skin before she caught sight of the car. She had a funny feeling all day that something was 'off', a shift, something chaotic and heavy in the air around her".

The property featured a lake and an elephant, gorilla and lion statues. I contacted the real estate agent selling the property and was told the current owner had put the statues there, but could not tell me why. The place is still up for sale. #horror #shortstories

"As an estate agent of twenty-five years, I had encountered and sold many odd properties, mostly residential. This was the oddest commercial sale I had committed to".
No Picnic (A Relator's Tale) from upcoming Tales of Unease 2 was inspired by a property for sale I stumble across in 2023.

Oh yes1 I have seen this!

I wish I could get my hands on those, only have seen a couple - not sure if I can get to them in Australia.

Only ✌️days to go! Coming Wednesday at 5pm BST - The first story in our Season 2 lineup. Get ready - we have loads of the spine-tingling content you love coming your way!

The Tales of Unease 2 story 'All Locked Up' was inspired by visits to Whittlesea and Mornington back in 2023. I noticed that both towns had somewhat similar old lockup buildings - pictured here is the Mornington one - and looking through the barred windows in the doors, a story evolved.

Pale brick building with two doors, with two windows above, sits on a multi coloured brick path, with green lawn in front. Behind the building from the right, is a two story brick building that is curved. To the left is a smaller building and two cars.

"Resting is head upon the chill metal, inside his mind a scene emerges - 'A man sitting upon an aged wood bench. Desolate of spirit, head low, heart empty, he waits trapped'."

I took this photo to capture the strange glow in the windows I would see each day.

'Bones' is one of the many stories that will be part of Tales of Unease 2. Inspired by the view from a house I lived in circa 2023. It was on the edge of a new housing estate, homes being built all around it.

Photo of two two story homes, the one to the right with a golden glow in the windows. In front temporary fencing.

"Walls, windows, roofs giving the appearance of life, but it was a falsehood, faux flesh over the real innards, the wooden structure that had been present for eons."

Once some edits have been done, to bring some new content for the book, I will be looking into getting the book printed - either myself or through a publisher and hoping to get that done this year.
The writing of Tales of Unease 2 is almost done, and I will be sharing some info about that here!

"The moon rises bright and full in the sky, and the cauterwauling begins that has plagued many evenings before this".
The Boy with the Baby Blues story from Tales of Unease was inspired by hearing a very peculiar sound one afternoon that I could not figure out whether it was a child or a cat.

- and the story was born.

"The clatter of long talon like fingernails; the scraping of old, dry bones against hard ground". One July Afternoon is inspired by the sculpture I made back in 2020. After creating her, I imagined her crawling down a suburban road in broad daylight. I wondered what brought her there...
