RED

RED will be released on Friday 24 March 2023, and this is what you can expect from my fourth tale of terror.

BACKGROUND

RED was originally going to be a short festive story to release in time for Christmas but ended up growing arms, legs… and the secret ingredient, which I won’t say as it will be a spoiler.

THEME

RED can be considered a Psychological Horror or even a Supernatural Horror, depending on how it resonates with you as the reader. I decided to have a little fun with this story, which has paid off, and I love how it has turned out.

THE STORY

RED is a story told through the eyes of a man who has suffered a deeply fractured past. Although he has somehow managed to forge a relatively stable life, things are not always what they may seem.

When recent events threaten to tear his world apart, he is drawn to a whisper which manifests within the darkness. A whisper which offers him the faith to face the shadows of his past and the appetite to deal with those who have wronged him.

INFLUENCE

After writing Obsession, I felt I had unfinished business with the fractured mind idea and decided to explore this theme further. I also wanted this story to be much darker and more brutal than my other stories… I am confident to have achieved this with RED.

MY THOUGHTS ON RED

This is my best story to date, but only time will prove if this is true for those who read my work. I love psychological horrors, especially those not afraid to mix things up a bit with traditional horror, and this is precisely what I have tried to achieve with RED.

IN CLOSING

As I work toward my release date, I plan to re-read the story several times, prepare the paperback editing, and work out a few formatting issues. All the fun stuff! I always hated doing all this and often released my stories far too early. Now, I take my time and have learned to respect the process. It’s hard work, and I certainly don’t do this for the money (maybe one day), but I love writing horror.

ANNOUNCEMENT
