So, a number of people have asked me about my next book. What is it? When will it be out? And so on.
Okay, here's the run down on what you can expect for my upcoming works.
Currently I am working on my latest book, called The Source.
I've been working on it for a while, but since I have moved it up to a full time project, I'm sailing through it at a very pleasing speed. So, fingers crossed it'll be finished and published by the end of the year.
Potentially dangerous to put that kind of time frame on it, but at least it will give me a deadline to work to, so that people aren't disappointed. Lots of people have been chomping at the bit to read it and keeping asking me about it, so I'm eager to get it into their patient hands.

The Source
But what is The Source going to be about. Those who have asked me directly, either in person or online, have been told the basic idea of the book (which I'm glad has been well received and left people hungry for more). But for everyone, here is what to expect from The Source.
The Source is a book of Gothic Horror. It's big influences are writers such as H.P Lovecraft, Mary Shelly, Bram Stoker and Anne Rice. While it aspires to the aesthetic of classic Gothic literature from the likes of Shelly and Stoker, I'm bringing it the modern edge of writes like Anne Rice, but also other horror writers like Dean Koontz. However, the style of the writing is intentionally pulpy, as one might expect from Lovecraft and that kind of Weird Tales literature.

The book is structured as a number of short stories, which can be read in any order. But when in their entirety, the reader will see that they are telling an overarching narrative.
The stories of The Source bring in a number of different inspirations, which should be of interest to both my Pagan readers and the casual horror fan.
You can expect magic, weird creatures, twisted tales of evil fairies, curses, secret cults, witches, maenads, dark gods, monsters and more.
The world of The Source is like our own. To the casual observer, they'd appear the same, except in the world of The Source, the truth is frequently stranger than fiction and there are weird, terrifying things hidden in the darkness.
Drawing from myths, legends and folklore I'm giving a new dimension to the mysterious elements of our world and wrapping them together into a cohesive metaphysical reality. The world of The Source has rules and tangibility, so that the reader feels that the world they are experiencing is real enough, that it could even be their own - as though they are getting a rare glimpse behind the veil, at something that few people are privy to - and what dwells beyond the veil is often horrifying and terrible.

So, watch this space. The Source will be here soon.
