Hey there!
My new LGBT Young Adult coming-of-age tale "DIARY OF A GAY TEENAGE ZOMBIE" is now available on amazon, in paperback and ebook format.
Jay was a perfectly normal teenager. Awkward, antisocial, and homosexual. He had friends, but only a few. His family were troubled, and he wasn't entirely happy. He was like any other awkward, antisocial, homosexual teenager. Then he was bitten.
Now, Jay has far more on his mind than he can handle. Not only is he struggling to keep his family apart and deal with his unfulfilled love for the hottest guy in school, but he now has to struggle to keep in check his urge to devour human flesh. Decomposition is bad enough, but he can almost deal with that.
But how can he deal with life when he's this much of an outsider?
"Diary of a Gay Teenage Zombie" is a young adult LGBT coming-of-age story by acclaimed horror and dark fantasy author Justin MacCormack, creator of "Return to 'Return to Oz'" and "Cthulhu Doesn't Dance".
This unique tale deals with themes of growing up as an outsider. Shockingly aware and witty, this thrilling story dishes up side-splitting laughter, stomach-churning horror, heart-rending drama and everything you'll need to know about growing up when you just don't feel that you fit in.

Sir Christopher Lee
I think I'll remember Christopher Lee most strongly not for his acting roles... but for a performance he gave in reading the audio book version of William Peter Blatty's "The Exorcist."
It's a strange choice to remember him most fondly for this, but it's one I'm going to consciously make.
Mostly because hearing him spew truly mind-boggling obscenities as he snarled and rasped in the demon's voice was just THE BEST THING EVER.
Nobody else - nobody - could have done it quite like him.

Books going like cray-cray, man!
So, update on my writing. Get ready!
The launch of "Diary of a Gay Teenage Zombie" is next month, July 10th! I'm drafting up press release packs, and am proud to say that the UK's largest LGBT bookstore will be holding a limited supply. You can also celebrate the eBook version by joining the online release party, at https://www.facebook.com/events/1619342661643317/
The first volume of "Twilight of the Faerie", tentatively subtitled "Book 1: Spring" is undergoing proof-reading as we speak. The cover artwork is also being drawn up. Advanced copies will be available in the next few weeks.
The second volume of "Twilight of the Faerie", tentatively subtitled "Book 2: Summer" is 150 pages into its first draft. It's shaping up really nicely, with lots of action and character-driven drama. It takes everything from the first book and turns it up to eleven. No eta on completion yet, though.
My bestselling collection of short dark horror fiction, "Return to 'Return to Oz', and other tales" is available on Amazon Prime for a limited time. If you are a subscriber to Amazon Prime, you can download an ebook copy of this book free of charge for a limited time.
My second collection of short dark horror fiction, "Cthulhu Doesn't Dance, and other tales" has received another 5-star review!
My third collection of short dark horror fiction, "Blood Orgies of the Whores of Dracula, and other tales" has now been updated with a brilliant, lively and vibrant new cover. It really snaps and crackles, doing real justice to the works of blood-drenched terror contained within.

Get to know... Niamh
From the upcomming fantasy saga "Twilight of the Faerie"
Get to know... Niamh
Born as one of three identical sisters, Nimue carries with her the mark of sadness. As a frost fae, she is native to the Winter Court. For the longest time, her court held dominance over the lands of Faerie, ruling with a chill and frostbitten hand. A keen reader, the quiet and unassuming Niamh’s whispering voice hides a powerful skill with the magical arts. Now, though, the forces of Spring have cast off the cold throne of Winter, and Niamh and her sisters are left scarred with the knowledge of their defeat. Hated by many across the lands, Niamh finds herself tasked with a task of vital importance by the ruler of the defeated Winter Court, the Pale Lady herself – a task which is not only of great importance for the court, but for the fate of all of the lands of Faerie itself.
