Tim Mendees is a rather odd chap. He's a horror writer from Macclesfield in the North-West of England that specialises in cosmic horror and weird fiction. A lifelong fan of classic weird tales, Tim set out to bring the pulp horror of yesteryear into the 21st Century and give it a distinctly British flavour. His work has been described as the love-child of H.P. Lovecraft and P.G. Wodehouse and is often peppered with a wry sense of humour that acts as a counterpoint to the unnerving, and often disturbing, narratives.

Tim is the author of over one hundred published short stories and novelettes, seven novellas, and two short story collections. He has also curated and edited several cosmic horror-themed anthologies.

When he is not arguing with the spellchecker, Tim is a goth DJ with a weekly radio show on The Feelgood Station, and the co-presenter of the Innsmouth Book Club Podcast & Strange Shadows: The Clark Ashton Smith Podcast. He currently lives in Brighton & Hove with his pet crab, Gerald, and an ever-increasing army of stuffed octopods.

Gregg Cunningham 50, born Scotland currently serving out his time in the largest penal colony on earth.

So far I have had 20 short stories published over the last 5 years, each tale a greater challenge than the one before.Competition out there is tough so my rejection list seems to be getting even longer! All the more time to practice, and produce something special.

Mostly I try humour/horror/ science fiction- tongue firmly in cheek dead pan humour. My first story was picked up by 559 publishing and printed in 13 Bites volume III - titled "Stacey" which was about a seance that goes horribly wrong and a horny teen who has to deal with the bloody aftermath. A few good giggles in that one.

I've scattered a few breadcrumbs in many anthology books, some tales carrying on from other stories hidden away.

One such story is "War Pig" picked up by Zombie Pirate Publishing in their anthology 'World War Four'. My tale follows the life of an old time travelling pilot as he battles enemies above the mining craters of our Moon, before finding himself lost in time, a reluctant prisoner of war caught while trying to steal the very secret enemy technology that began his adventures.

Some technology just ain't worth the blood spilled to capture.

Or is it?

Another tale follows Sydney, a young girl lost in space and trying to survive against the stacking odds against her as her Oxygen supply leaks away.

'The Lucky One' can be found inside Deep Space Volume 1 Black Hare Press.

-UPDATE- Her latest Adventure out August 2021 finds Sydney teaming up with a very familiar Mechanical Medical mech as they battle a common foe.

look out for 'Jonah' in Black Ink Fiction's Space Opera Anthology.

Scruddin' Awesome that one!

My First Novellete release in 2020- WARDENCLYFFE is a tongue in cheek daring doo adventure following Captain Swarley Paxmore as he battles monstrosities over the Atlantic ocean onboard the infamous Titanic.

Swarley's second adventure Loves great adventurer is Published soon with Breaking Rules Europe releasing their Adventure Awaits Anthology late 2021.

I hope you read a few of my short tales on your own travels, and enjoy the yarns.

Thanks for stopping by.

“Never ignore coincidence. Unless, of course, you’re busy. In which case, always ignore coincidence.” Matt Smith AKA the Doctor.

Alanna Robertson-Webb is a rising star among short story writers, and one of the anthologies she is featured in (Monsters, by Black Hare Press) has been nominated for a 2019 Bram Stoker Award. Additionally, the novella she co-wrote (Storming Area 51: Horror at the Gates) reached the #1 spot in Amazon's sci-fi books in October of 2019.

Her stories are often infused with hair-raising horror, and her paranormal tales in particular add just the right amount of darkness to keep her readers intrigued.

For Alanna the spooky side of writing is a riviting journey through the human psyche, so whether you are looking for some of her wholesome horror (Monstronomicon by Haunted House Publishing) or wish to be transported into one of her grimmer worlds (Death and Butterflies by Suicide House Publishing) then grab a book and embark on a thrilling read!

I love words. I always have. I remember being five years old at Christmas and my parents gave me a crazy set of "Children's Classics." Black Beauty, Water Babies, The Man in the Iron Mask. I couldn't read any of them, but the potential was heady. By 8th grade, I knew I wanted to be a writer when I grew up. I had landed in honour's english class, which was all about words. I learned about Shakespeare and wrote my own Greek myth. And I never looked back.

If you let me, I'll share that love with you, in ways you may not have explored before. We'll go on journeys into dark, forbidden places. We'll sigh and smile and turn the page and hold our breaths. I promise to bring you safely home.
