Debut children's horror novel from Simon Paul Woodward

Debut children’s horror writer Simon Paul Woodward releases his thrilling novel ALL THE DEAD THINGS supported by a cinema style trailer with costuming and design created by a team that had worked on five of the Harry Potter films, V for Vendetta and The Dark Knight Rises.

Simon Paul Woodward’s debut children’s horror novel ALL THE DEAD THINGS, released 6th January in paperback and e-book, is supported by a cinematic, promotional film produced by London based Loop Productions.

'Stan Wisdom is cursed by the stifling influence of an overprotective mother and the ability to see monsters invisible to everybody but him. When a new found friendship is threatened, rage leads Stan to reveal himself to the monsters and the hunt is on. Pursued through an endlessly repeating day, Stan uncovers the dark secret fuelling his mothers fear and finds himself at the centre of a supernatural civil-war with the future of life and death at stake.' 

The e-book is currently on an introductory offer for 77p until 31 Jan or £5.89 for the paperback.

New Class comes to Neverwinter!

I've had an off and on relationship with Neverwinter lately, but the new expansion released this week, Shadowmantle, has dragged me back in with an introduction of a class I've longed for, the Hunter Ranger.


The class plays like a dream, awesome ranged power will the ability to hop backwards to put more space between yourself and the enemy, this actually plays better than my favourite class in Lotro, the Hunter!

I've not played through any of the new content yet, but for the release of this class alone (and Free to Play!) I hail Perfect World for a job well done. If you haven't tried it yet, give Neverwinter a go. It's a blast!.


New Ebook for Gary McMahon (and our first Prize Draw Giveaway!)

On 10th December, the mighty Gary McMahon's latest work, 'Where you live' will be unleashed on the world in ebook format via Crystal Lake Publishing.


"Horror is everywhere… It’s waiting behind a closed door, sitting in an ordinary chair, or following you on a country walk. Perhaps it’s washed up on a tranquil beach, hanging at a local skate park, recorded on an MP3 player hard drive, or even embedded somewhere deep within the design of something as simple and innocuous as a supermarket barcode. Horror is everywhere, in the shadows and in the light. It takes on every shape, comes in every conceivable size. But most of all it’s right where you live."


Crystal Lake have offered us an ebook copy so this is our first giveaway! Just leave a comment under this post by Saturday 14th December, for a chance to win a copy!

If you can't wait til then, or prefer something solid to read, by all means grab a copy from Amazon, which is already available in paperback!

Guess what I'm patching?

Well, as if I didn't have enough games on my plate, listening to the Contains Moderate Peril podcast, I was inspired to dive back into this excellent game. Be nice to play something modern to get away from the fantasy of Neverwinter and LOTRO and sure it will take me ages to understand the thing again.
