Interview with Author – Sam Bowring
About Sam Bowring: I'm an Australian author and stand-up comedian. My main genres are fantasy and children’s books.

Interview with Author – David Little
About David Little: David Little wrote his first full length novel when he was 16. Titled "The Old Firm" it was an homage to the classic Universal horror films that he used to watch as child - but shouldn't have really - juxtaposed with the modern, blood filled remake culture of the 80s.

Things Grak Hates by Peter J Story
Grak hates things. Lots of things. And with a peculiar intensity too. Grak’s contempt is so strong, in fact, that it often leaves his fellow tribesmen bewildered. And when attempting to describe his personality, they find themselves in need of words with greater nuance. “Neurotic” is typically used. “Sociopath” and “narcissist” are also common terms. The most popular descriptor, however, is “pathological.” Grak, on the other hand, sees his situation in a rather different light. He finds … [Read more...]
