‘First time caller, long time listener’
 

Yeallo one and all, This is my first Horror forum, figured i'd start screaming my own small notes onto an already overcrowded overture! As for me, I’m a 22 year old Irish man finding himself skulking around the narrow streets of Portsmouth, England.

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!

Welcome to HDC. We have a few writers on here who can give you some advice and perhaps a little inspiration as well.
