Too literal?

Can't wait to read it.

Yes! Get in!

Will definitely give it a go. Thanks.

Enjoy - then try 'The Loney.' If a dank, foreboding setting excites you, you'll love it! I'm surprised every copy doesn't come with free mildew!

You won't regret it. A line involving the word 'glue' has stayed with me ever since! Have you read his first novel, 'The Loney'?

Please join me in praying to the gods of the forest (and editors)! Note: no people or animals were ritually sacrificed in the making of this novel. #writing #horror #folklore #folkhorror

It's so frustrating when I have to pass on a book that I really like, because I liked it as a reader and not as an editor or an agent. There is a huge difference between a book I can see potential in, and a book that I can help reach its potential.
