Amazing how a #BookPost can brighten an otherwise cold, dark and very wet day.

Thank you, @uncertainstories.com 10 out of 10 for your packaging skills - and the freebies.

I read this over the weekend and I can't recommend it highly enough. It's an impeccable collection of beautifully tense short fiction with an uncanny edge. Loved it. Go to @uncertainstories.com and get your copy now.
