Happy (almost) Halloween! As usual at this time of year, I’m making the most of the huge selection of scary films available to watch on all the streamers, and even ventured out to the cinema over the weekend to watch Five Nights at Freddy’s. I loved it, despite going in with pretty low expectations (it’s based on a video game, which doesn’t usually bode well, and I’ve never played the game so wasn’t sure what I was in for). Terrifying animatronics, a creepy abandoned amusement arcade, and a down-on-his-luck security guard (played brilliantly by Josh Hutcherson) made for a scary-good time.

Speaking of scary-good times… if you missed this month’s newsletter (sign up here if you’re not on the list) then you won’t have had a chance to read my new FREE short story, RED PIANO – but now you can! I’ve added it under the ‘Extras’ menu, so you can now read it here.

It was inspired by an unusual find while I was out walking in the woods a few months ago, and this story is the nightmarish result.

If you’ve already read RED PIANO and would like to read another free short story by me, check out my Christmas-themed horror short, CHRISTMAS LIGHTS.

Hope you enjoy, and Happy Halloween!
