Hidden Wyndham by Amy Binns arrived today

Received my copy of Hidden Wyndham by Amy Binns in the post today from Amazon and look forward to reading it over the next few days. It's a great looking book, complete with a section of black and white photographs and an index.

I intend writing a review of it for a future issue of Phantasmagoria Magazine.

Stories for publication in 2020

I so far have three stories due to be reprinted in various publications next year.

The latest is Help-Plants, which will appear in Martian Wave from Alban Publishing. This story was first published in Aboriginal Science Fiction.

Two other stories will appear in Lovecraftiana: Lurkers and The Shadow by the Altar.

Currently I have one story in the latest issue of Phantasmagoria Magazine: Their Cramped Dark World, and a second, Lock-In in Gruesome Grotesques #5, due next month, the Twilight Zone issue, as well as Writer's Cramp in Terror Tales of Northwest England.
