My Recent Book And Poetry Successes May 2026

I have had a flourish of successfully released writings this month.

BHF 12 Book Cover (art by John Toner)

My English Civil War set horror story, Fresh Dead Flesh appears in the 12th BHF Book Of Horror Stories - Dying, Dead, Undead. Money from sales of the BHF books go to charity. The book is available through Amazon. I have work in volumes 9, 10 and 11 too. My stories in each are illustrated by Smuzz. The book's cover art by Paul Mudie, depicting a zombified Nigel Farrage is a true design classic, possibly the best cover of any publication bearing my work to date. £12.99 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0H2545PSH?ref=cm_sw_r_ffobk_mwn_dp_0ZM3QMZ771RKTDVJ6F4V&ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_mwn_dp_0ZM3QMZ771RKTDVJ6F4V&social_share=cm_sw_r_ffobk_mwn_dp_0ZM3QMZ771RKTDVJ6F4V&bestFormat=true&fbclid=IwY2xjawR7rfZleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEeOUoWd5FljX1TSvJogJTuiq-ElLh6xYdHKxODAQfzlg_ziOMkFBduV14HMBo_aem_r5yZpcH-gH4GNeyV8VbRzw
