About the author

I live in Somerset with my wife Marti and Mitzi, a Welsh collie. Obviously they control everything and I am a mere hanger-on. Older than I look, I remember smoking on the shore as the Ark was being launched and thinking to myself, 'That folly will never float.' And, 'I ought to give these things up.'
I have been described as 'an original thinker, with a battered energy and a dark but hopeful sense of humour'. Which is better than I could have come up with.
That's pretty much it. I am always happy to chat and can be contacted at pbeere@sky.com.
Buy my books, tell others, and we'll be friends for ever more.

I actually love Peter Beere. His prose style is so hysterical you have to read the whole thing in a shriek, and I am Here. For It.

2.5 realistically. I love the author's use of language and very British atmosphere. The book has a retro tone with a British slant that set it apart from other Point horror novels. However, the ending felt rushed.
