NOT JUST ON KINDLE

 

Many of my eBooks are available exclusively on Amazon Kindle, but not all of them by any means. My big Californian crime thriller The Tribe from Cemetery Dance Publications can be had from a wide variety of different outlets, as can earlier supernatural novels such as the Havana-based Tropic of Darkness from Simon & Schuster.

Plenty of good reading for the New Year then, even if you're not on Kindle.

SCI-FI & DARK FANTASY FOR KINDLE UNLIMITED READERS

I've been away from here a while ... I know that. But as it turns out lockdowns are extremely weird things, with some aspects of your normal life getting mysteriously overlooked. And this blog has proved to be one of them.

But now I'm back, and with fresh news.

I have numerous collections out on Kindle, but not one of them until this date has been eligible for Kindle Unlimited. And the reason for that omission is a very simple one. Books can only be available through KU if all of the material contained in them appears on Kindle and no other platform (which is precisely why you can't read Stephen King or James Patterson as part of your membership). And every last collection that I've put out till this point has stories in it that are equally available from the same publishers who put out them in eBook form in the first place, Dark Regions in the US, The Alchemy Press in the UK, and so on.

So I've finally decided I should put that right. UNLIMITED FUTURES is a a huge collection of my science fiction work. And if you're into horror, supernatural stuff and dark fantasy tales, then CHILLS UNLIMITED gives you 15 short stories and 2 complete short novels, and every single word of both these massive books can be read via your subscription to KU.

Oh, as a brief final note, other eBook fiction of mine can also be read through Kindle Unlimited, the 6 full-length novels (so far) in my Raine's Landing supernatural thriller series for instance.

CLASSIC BRITISH HORROR

In the world of genre magazines and anthology series, there are always a precious few that take on what can honestly be called a legendary status. When it comes to science fiction, then it's Amazing Stories in the States and New Worlds in the UK. And when it comes to supernatural and horror fiction? Weird Tales, obviously, in the US. But there is a Brit equivalent to that.

The Pan Book of Horror Stories is an anthology series that ran yearly from 1959 to 1989, all but the last five editions under the editorship of publisher Herbert van Thal. It featured top authors like Stephen King and Ray Bradbury and even the occasional tale by such literary big guns as Muriel Spark and Ian McEwan, but it became first and foremost a showcase for brand-new talent. It sold in huge numbers and is still revered by horror fans to this very day (thirty years on) with numerous websites dedicated to it.

Running a close second were The Fontana Book of Great Horror Stories and The Fontana Book of Great Ghost Stories, both of them also yearly and the latter edited by that excellent author of spooky fiction Robert Aikman before passing on the stewardship to Ronald Chetwynd-Hayes, another genre great.

And it was in these three outlets that I first cut my teeth as a fledgling writer. Here are those stories and others from that period, each with its own introduction as to how it made it into print.
