I am a 44 year old father of four with a love of both the fantastic and the macabre. which comes from a childhood obsessed with everything from HG Wells to E.A. Poe. From HP Lovecraft to the works of Alan Garner and John Wyndham. I also admire the science fiction of phillip. K. Dick, Ray Bradbury and the 80's comic's Starlord and 2000ad. I have written a few short stories and a few poems, and wondered whether they were suitable for publication.

Right now, I have 89 stories in 3 collections on the site. My stories have been read 13816 times and 12 of my stories have been cherry picked
