MY STORY 'ENLIVENED' DEPICTED BY ARTIST GERARD TORBITT.
From time to time an artist reads one of my books and is inspired enough to interpret something that has affected them in that story. It’s one of the absolute highlights of writing horror: having my own mad creations adapted by another imagination.
The painter Gerard Torbitt from Belfast, recently painted his vision of the infernal creature in my story ‘Enlivened’ from Wyrd and Other Derelictions and is happy for me to share it here. I’ve been admiring and following his expressionist style on Instagram for a while now (gerard_torbitt). You can find his website here.

‘WYRD AND OTHER DERELICTIONS’ REVIEWED AT SUBLIME HORROR
There’s another thoughtful review/essay on ‘Wyrd’, this time from James Pate at Sublime Horror.
“There’s an affinity between horror and the avant-garde. From the visceral dystopian visions found in Burroughs’ Naked Lunch and Ballard’s The Atrocity Exhibition, to the gothic-infused surrealism of films like Jane Arden’s The Other Side of Underneath and Bill Gunn’s Ganja & Hess, and even to David Lynch’s projects over multiple mediums, experiments in form frequently amplify the nightmarish aspects of horror (both horror as a genre and horror as an emotion). Adam L.G. Nevill’s recent collection of stories entitled Wyrd and Other Derelictions is part of that avant-garde horror tradition.”
We salute James and Sublime with both horns.

THE REDDENING WINS THE BRITISH FANTASY SOCIETY AUGUST DERLETH AWARD 2020: BEST HORROR NOVEL.
My obsidian heart has been warmed. Last night, some very kind folks at the British Fantasy Society gave ‘The Reddening’ The August Derleth Award for Best Horror Novel. I’m elated, my horns are raised. My little black tail may also have whipped from side to side excitedly.
A very good awards ceremony too, conducted online at the BFS YouTube page here. A recording will be posted on the BFS FB page (imminently, I believe).
Congrats to the other winners and nominees in all categories.
And a big thanks to the BFS committee for pulling the awards off this year.
