Newt's Nightmares🦎#109
Greetings, my wicked darlings!
I hope my UK readers enjoyed the bank holiday and the hangovers weren’t too ghastly. What is this glorious sunshine about? Come on, how am I supposed to write Gothic horror without at least a hint of drizzle?
May is a glorious month for horror. Not only is it my birthday (27 May 1982) but also Vincent Price’s (27 May 1911), Christopher Lee’s (27 May 1922), Peter Cushing’s (26 May 1913). I’m honoured to have been born within 48 hours of these titans of terror.
I’ve always been a huge fan of Dame Daphne du Maurier, who was also born in May (13 May 1907).
Let’s light a candle and raise a glass for our fallen brethren (not me, I’m still kicking around. Like a fart in a frock, I’m not dissipating anytime soon).
I’ve a busy month coming up for you in May, you’ve got two free short stories: The Wild Hunt (fear the Teutoburg Forest) and The Spinster (be careful which old ladies you plan to burgle). I am also doing an audio narration of One More Turn (a ‘cracking� story).
