Can writers play in #PortfolioDay? Dunno. Anyway, I've written BOOKS OF MAGIC for DC, EVE STRANGER and PUNKS NOT DEAD for IDW, SOUTHSIDE SERPENTS for Archie, and a pile of stuff for 2000AD including HERNE & SHUCK, LOWBORN HIGH and DEADTOWN. Give me some work. davidbarnett.wordpress.com/contact/

You could, if you wished, read my folk horror novels WITHERED HILL & SCUTTLER'S COVE this spooky season, and thus be prepared for the third, SCRATCH MOSS, published in March. All standalones but subtly linked. Paperback, ebook and audiobook formats from all good (and possibly some rubbish) vendors.
