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.
Love the design of your Broken Ground anthology. I think I'll be reading it very s-l-o-w-l-y to make it last!

Happy halloween! Thrilled to have two stories out this October in these beautiful collections by brilliant publishers.
Definitely recommend picking up copies if you're looking for something strange and scary to read this autumn, they're so so good and no I'm not biased at all

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.
