A last minute attack

Just when I thought it was safe to slump gracefully into 2022 – look out! There’s one more book to add to the list of published works for this year, and that is They’re Out to Get You, edited by Johnny Mains. It’s a series of pulp tales, and volume one focuses on animals and insects. If you’re a fan of that sub-genre of horror in which a giant shark, a plague of rats, or a team of fast-moving slugs is coming to destroy you, then this is for you.

I had a blast writing my story, A Taste for Paste. I won’t spoil what animal it involves. I tried to find the most non-threatening, delightful animal and turn it into a tale that builds to a bizarre climax, and to have fun with a few expectations that might arise along the way.

Thanks to Johnny for including my story alongside works by a host of great writers, all of whom have brought their own twists to the party. What a good way to end the year.
