The Gogamagog Circus 14/08/2024

Giants dwell the world over. They come in all shapes and sizes. Some with enormous bodies and some, occasionally, without. You may find them striding across the Salisbury Plain, wading through the oceans, or residing in the forests of a distant planet. The one thing they all have in common is that their size matters. The Gogamagog Circus is the latest collection from master raconteur Gary Kilworth. Here are thirteen gigantic short stories of our Brobdingnagian cousins, presented for your delectation, including eight brand new tales specially written for this collection.

Writing about The Alchemy Press Book of the Dead edited by Stephen Jones, Ellen Datlow says: "With copious photographs and images . . . a fabulous opportunity to learn about the recently passed creators who made a difference to our field."

LET YOUR HINGED JAW DO THE TALKING by Tom Johnstone (Alchemy Press) 27/03/2024

Let Your Hinged Jaw Do the Talking Expanded by Tom Johnstone gets a rather fabulous long review on the Supernatural Tales blog. Here is the conclusion: "This is an impressive collection that balances the hard-hitting imagery of modern horror with elements of the ghost story tradition. It reaffirms Johnstone's place as one of the most impressive modern writers of supernatural fiction."

You can't say much better than that.

LET YOUR HINGED JAW DO THE TALKING by Tom Johnstone (Alchemy Press) A blog about ghost stories, weird fiction, quiet horror, and related matters.

08/03/2024

The Hinged Jaw is talking again, and talking a lot more. Here is a new edition of Tom Johnstone's fab collection, expanded to include two extra stories. Available to buy from March 22. There will be an eBook version, too (so ignore the current Hinged Jaw edition).

The sleep of reason breeds monsters in this collection of terror tales. Some of the most frightening monsters are those that come in human form:

The ex-undercover cop haunted by the dead child whose identity he stole... The abused ex-convent girl who develops an affinity with Medusa... The severed hand that forges literary works... The budding psychopath whose doppelganger takes the rap for his misdeeds... The man in the black suit with boiled jelly eyes who haunts the corridors of a council flat...

These and other horrors stalk the ages, from eighteenth century West Africa to nineteen-fifties Brighton ... from the killing fields of the English Civil War to the playing fields of an exclusive school ... from the Munster plantation in sixteenth century Ireland to a sugar plantation in nineteen-thirties Haiti...

"This is Tom Johnstone at his best, the master of the slow reveal..." - Colleen Anderson
