Loving R. Cheywynd-Hayes

Comfort Reading for Horror Fans
Very excited by my growing collection of R. Chetwynd-Hayes books. I was thrilled to discover the writer character in The Monster Club was a real person!

Remember sending off for these beauties back in my teens. It was relaunched in the 80s as Halls of Horror which is how I discovered it.

Last Days by Adam Nevill - a few thoughts

I know I am probably the last person to discover it (and the author), but I was impressed by Adam Nevill's  Last Days. Certain sequences were genuinely creepy and I liked the main characters - normal guys you could believe in. I would say, however, that it needed to expose more back story as the plot progressed, rather than a big reveal that squeezed centuries worth of explanation into a few pages. I will definitely be reading more by Adam Nevill though, as there is enough good content - not least the excellent use of smell in creating the horror - to hint at great things to come from this British writer.
