Horror Aficionados discussion

Hi, I'd like to announce the release of my new book -




Beneath the Boards

Beneath Jim Stokes’s shirt is a scar, one last horrific reminder of his old job in the police force.

Beneath the everyday normality of the village Stormark is a shameful secret, haunting people’s dreams.

Beneath the floorboards of the lake house is a hatch, sealed and forgotten for years until Stokes opens it up.

Beneath them all is blackness, and unheard screams, and scratching sounds in the night…

…and her whispers.

It's available on Amazon for 99c/99p and here's a multi region link.

Bought - good luck with the release!

Cheers, Michael!

I've had a couple of five star, reviews which I'm thrilled about. These are from pre release copies.
I hope you'll forgive me posting a couple of sound bites?

This story pulled me in from the very beginning and is full of action. Because most of it is from Jim’s point of view, we are drawn down into the nightmare he suffers, witness it from his point of view and learn the awful truth about the small community he has joined. It’s a great story, a classic horror...

If I could have read this from behind a cushion, I'm sure I would have. I found this to be a very creepy story. As I spiralled into Jim's madness, I felt myself physically tensing up, only relaxing my shoulders at the end of a chapter.

Thank you for your indulgence

Excellent reviews!

Cheers, Michael!

Thanks, David!

Nice pitch. Causes me to think of Charles L. Grant and James Herbert.

Cheers, Bill.
Thanks, James. That was the feel I was going for so I'm really pleased to hear that. I only hope the story matches up to the pitch!
Jennifer, thank you! I hope you enjoiy it and look forward to hearing your thoughts, whatever they are.

I'm in. Just bought it. Watch this space, David. A Gathering of Ghosts was a cracker!

Thanks on both counts, John! It's very different to A Gatheting of Ghosts but I really hope you enjoy it.

I won't update this thread again, unless something truly monumental occurs that is, but I've had a couple of really pleasing reviews today. I'm allowed a little bit of promotion aren't I?
No more though, I promise!

Hey, you should be happy with people who say, "I should confess that I'm a bit of a fan boy for this author's work."

Nice reviews. Congrats and good luck, with this.

Yes reading something like that is apt to put a big smile on your face for quite some time.
Thanks for wishing me well, it's appreciated.

I'm a fan boy and don't mind admitting it :-)

Finally finished Beneath the Boards, David. Loved it! So different from A Gathering of Ghosts! As someone else pointed out, there is a bit of a James Herbert feel to it (which isn't a bad thing), but your own lovely style shines through in this more modern story of the macabre.

Haha, cheers Michael!
Thanks, John - What a great comment! Thanks for your support.
