The Post-Apocalyptic Movie Club and the Secret Nuclear Bunker

Forgive the bizarre title of this post – it will make sense!

I never really intended to use this website to tell you what I did on my summer holidays, but today I'm making an exception.

I'm sure any writers who are reading this will agree: we never really stop working. Even when you're not sat at your desk staring at your computer screen, banging away at the keyboard or reading through reams of papers, signing and posting books, answering emails etc., you're still working. You're still...

THEM OR US

The end of the school holidays are finally in sight and I'll be back to posting here with more regularity again very soon!

As I'm currently trying to finish up and polish the final book in the HATER series, I thought a little tease would be in order. Please don't read any further if you haven't yet read HATER and/or DOG BLOOD!

I can reveal that the title of the third book will be THEM OR US, and it will hit the shelves in late Summer / Autumn 2011 (exact date to be confirmed). Just to whet...

An AUTUMN update

I'm getting a lot of questions about the forthcoming re-issues of the AUTUMN books in the US and UK, so I thought I should give you a proper update. I also want to talk briefly about an AUTUMN-related opportunity that some of you might be interested in.

AUTUMN will be released on 26th October in the US and on the 28th in the UK. The next three books in the series (which have been slightly reordered and are now AUTUMN: THE CITY, AUTUMN: PURIFICATION and – being released for the first time –...

Grimm Up North 2

Apologies for the serious lack of updates recently – I've got plenty to tell you about, but finding time to post has been impossible. Ahh… that great British tradition of 6 week long summer holidays from school. As a kid it was immense – an undoubted highlight of the year. As a dad of many, trying to balance a stack of deadlines and work from home, it's a complete bitch! I've been for a flight in a hot air balloon, spent a week at the seaside, made a few trips to the cinema and we're only at ...

Kind words from the FDO

Regular readers of this site will know I'm a fan of Scott Sigler and his books Infected, Contagious and Ancestor. Scott recently read DOG BLOOD, and I was really pleased to find this very cool endorsement of the book on his site.

Cheers Scott!

Remain Indoors!

I've been doing a lot of press for DOG BLOOD recently and I've regularly been asked about my favourite movies. As you've probably guessed from my books (it doesn't take a genius!), post-apocalyptic films are my thing.

My brain needs some serious recharging right now, and talking about all those classics has made me want to watch them again. So that's what I'm planning to do. And I've decided I'll write something about each of them for this site: what I liked about them, what I didn't like...

I was David Carradine's mom

[image error]The AUTUMN movie gets another DVD release in the US this week. There's a nice little article on Fangoria.com about the experiences of Diane Salema, a presenter on MTV Canada who appeared in the film (under a ton of make-up) as Mrs Evans...

Spread the Infection – the AUTUMN books are coming back!

Those of you who caught the AUTUMN books first time around will probably remember my 'Spread the Infection' tagline. I used it for years, and I'm sure it was responsible to some degree for the book's journey from free pdf to half a million downloads, a movie, an audio adaptation, and now mainstream publication.

They've been unavailable for far too long, but the re-release of the AUTUMN series is close at hand. The first book is out in late October (US and UK – click the covers for...

Bring classic horror back to the BBC

I don't know how many of you are like me… thirty-something (very close to forty-something) and UK based. If you're not then this post may not be relevant. Sorry about that, but this is something I'm passionate about!

Growing up as a young horror fan in the UK in the 1980′s, it was bloody hard to find any decent movies to watch. Dumb politicians, moralistic idiots and misguided religious fools conspired to strip our shelves of everything even mildly horrific.

Some of my earliest horror movie...
