Halloween is fast approaching, so how better to fill the days than by catching up on some horror reading? Just finished Gary McMahon's new Gray Friar collection It Knows Where You Live (bleak and brilliant, as you'd expect) before that it was Simon Kurt Unsworth's superb Quiet Houses. But the new site will arise in the near(ish) future. I was hoping to be getting the new website up and running over this weekend, but my lovely friends Mike and Rachel (who got me the domain as a late birthday present, bless 'em both) are laid up with horrible colds, so I didn't get to see them for the planned tutorial. I've read four of the stories so far, all of which have been very high quality indeed. Also bagged myself a copy of House Of Fear, Jonathan Oliver's new anthology from Solaris Books. Last night was Twisted Tales night up in Liverpool, with Nicholas Royle, Lisa Tuttle and Adam Nevill all reading I got to sip latte alongside The Awesomeness That Is Cate Gardner and stuff my face with tapas afterwards.
