My long-gestating book FULCI'S INFERNO is the DEFINITIVE writing on Lucio Fulci, delving deeper on the man and his films than anyone has before.

It is now available for pre-order from McFarland & Co, and will be released next year.

Link in bio, cover art below to whet your appetite!
I was walking along Euston Road, past the posh St Pancras Hotel and accidentally walked into someone & knocked her over.

IT WAS SARAH FERGUSON, THE FORMER DUCHESS OF YORK.

For a moment I thought I was about to get murdered by secret service, til I remembered she's not a Royal anymore.

Then I RAN.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

Buy a book.

Any book, it doesn't matter which. The one you've been looking forward to, the one with the title that made you laugh, the weighty award-winner you've been meaning to get to. Whatever.

Treat yourself. Step away from it all. In this time of gross ignorance & madness, read something.

So this is very selfish but a few years ago I was a finalist in the PAGE Awards. My sci fi actioner, 'Time & Time Again' got industry feedback and I got a few prodco reads, but cos I wasn't willing to uproot myself it didn't sell.

I am adamant that it would be a hit. I would have it made.
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

My occasional prod to say I wrote a book of short horror stories, and they're really fucking good (said by other people with inarguably exceptional taste)

Shitty people get what's coming to 'em. But also, cannibalism! Ghost children! Revenge! Grave robbing! You know, the fun stuff.
