Blogtober Day 17: What Makes Good Horror?
Horror is a tricky beast, even at the best of times. It’s hard to get right. And when it goes wrong, it can go so very wrong. But what does make a good Horror book?

Blogtober Day 8: AtmosFear
After I discussed the films I was scared of as a kid, something else popped into my head, something so utterly terrifying I refused to even enter the room when it was playing, and would hide behind the door in morbid fascination.

Blogtober Day 1: Why I Love Autumn
Rather than using one of the fantastic prompts for this first day of Blogtober, I thought I’d talk a bit instead about why Autumn is my favorite season! Autumn technically runs from mid/end September until mid-December, with winter starting just before Christmas.
