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.

"Perhaps it was something only a woman would understand but the process of penetrating his body with the plug left her feeling wobbly and emotionally exhausted." Honestly, Jane lol

You deal with Caitlyn's sense of disbelief and cynicism well which complements the building tension. I like the period feel of the conversation and the looming peril with the horseman. Looking forward to reading the conclusion, Penny.

"The dark, dread milkman is near!."
That last line made me think of Poe. A very entertaining read and very creative. Next door have the milkman...I can hear the quiet whoosh of the truck at 5am sometimes. Be afraid...
