Telling you that he’s an award winning author of four cult novels including the highly acclaimed ‘Way of the Barefoot Zombie’, just sounds like boasting. Then he has to mention that he’s written 12 children’s books and hundreds of comics and graphic novels and he wants to just curl up. He cringes when he has to reveal that his work has been translated into nine different languages and is used in schools throughout the UK to help improve literacy, or that he was awarded the This Is Horror Award for his last anthology ‘Dead Air’.

The book’s unnerving detail and psychological accuracy has led to some readers speculating that they are a serial killer who wrote it as a “duping delight diary.” (They’re not—unless the autistic meticulousness counts as a criminal offense.)
