Week of 1000 Nightmares.
Here's a link to the book on Amazon.co.uk..http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00DETC1OM
My own little horror story on Kindle, how cool! From a girl, I absorbed every horror I could lay my hands on. Bedtime stories
were Poe, M R James and basically, anything Hammer related.
The Thing, in bunk beds with an ancient black & white
portable (it was the olden days) Waiting, terrified all night for the entrails
of my sister to wriggle down from above and envelope me in carnivorous agony.
Halloween: a daring trip into the night with Mum (Dad always
worked abroad) Nightmares with a hair prickling score ( and ringtone) etched into my brain for decades yet to come. Damaged for
life – I loved every minute.
Weekend sleepovers at my cousins – a mass of sleeping bags
and chair beds. Nightmare on Elm Street, Hellraiser, Terrorvision, The Blob. The Stuff, Return Of The Living Dead...send more paramedics...LiKE THIS JOB!?!! Lying awake, thinking of all the surrounding cemeteries, brains...planning my escape, ahem, our escape…. We wouldn’t stand a
chance!
The grabbing hand at the end of Carrie.(Spoiler alert!) The ventriloquist's dummy Hugo in Dead of Night. The screaming Woman in Black over your bed, the watching shadowy ghosts in The Turn of the Screw. Alien, Demons, Evil Dead, The Fog, sequel after sequel, little pockets
of horror genius.
Argento, Carpenter, Craven, Fulci, Raimi, Scott, Herbert,
King. Loving nods to all my faves, they are my greatest inspirations.
Running out of room, gonna need a bigger boat – please
treasure my little contribution to an amazing genre. X A
