I am a Brummie living in North Somerset who loves to write but gets distracted with other things. I enjoy horror/fantasy and anything that provokes original thought.

My literary heroes are Clive Barker, Stephen King, Edgar Allan Poe and HP Lovecraft.

Everyone should read George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-four .

I have work published by AlienBuddha Press, Loft Books, BlackBough Poems, DarkWinter Literary Magazine and Paragraph Planet.

I am aware of King Crimsom but never listened to any of their stuff. Old Putinpot and the Lie Factory - still working hard through those Russian trolls!

It sounds like Mr and Mrs Muggins teamed up well to overcome their issues. And being seduced by Turkish music sounds like a good thing!

Yes, the SHT acronym made me laugh too. An intriguing premise for a story and you have your own distinctive style of writing. Which is a very good thing. Looking forward to more. Paul

"...save wind's unseen tongue howling vowels round consonants of stone left millennia.." Lots of wonderfully, poetic lines in this, Di. Enjoyed Ewan's poem and enoyed this one just as much. Paul
