I am a Brummie living in Northampton 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.

The reference to the Reverend

Posted on Tue, 18 Jan 2022

The reference to the Reverend Ian Paisley made me laugh too. I can just see him talking now in that stark, norn iron accent. This is almost Edgar Allan Poe-esque in its telling of a tale within a poem. Entertaining, of course. Paul :)

Burnham Beeches sounds like the kinda place I would love to be. A cacophony of wild images and wonderful phrasing. Of course. Paul

Thanks for reading it, donignacio. It's a story I have wanted to write for quite a while. Eric/Skye says it's OK so that's good enough for me. Thanks again. Paul :)
