Having finished university in the south of England I quickly packed my thumbs away in tiny boxes that I may stop twiddling and perhaps get down to some writing. Which is what I’d like to do for a living, though at the minute i'm having trouble living like a writer; being too poor and happy to self-deprecate or binge drink. So obviously I don’t get much writing done.

My favourite kind of horror is the classic short story flavour and I’ve recently taken to collecting .. amm collections of them. Nothing major really just a few volumes so far, looking for some of the classics before I just start chewing up any old thing. So far found copies of ‘The Vampye’ by John Polidori and what I think is most of ‘Varney’. I’ve become dead set on finding them by hand, mostly via second hand, as just Ebay-ing things takes some of the fun away. I’m something of a would-be old school scholar when it comes to this so I enjoy the smelly old books shops and the growing stacks of yellowing books festooning my room.

If you have any questions or anything else just shout them out!
