After the success of the first Dark Minds anthology (nominated for anthology of the year at ThisIsHorror.co.uk), I’m happy to say that Dark Minds Press decided to launch a second anthology, appropriately named Darker Minds. The cover artist is the award-winning Ben Baldwin.   

What excites me even more than reading all the great stories prowling within, is once again having one of my stories included. What an honour to work with an editor like Ross Warren over at Dark Minds Press, not to mention writers such as Gary McMahon, Gary Fry, Stephen Bacon, Ben Jones and many more. Still waiting for the final TOC, so I’ll let you know who else joins the asylum as soon as I hear more.

The overall theme of the anthology will deal with elements of mind control, with a little bit ambiguity thrown in to spice things up. This will clearly not be for fans of mild horror. Expect to be terrified. Expect anger, fear and altered perceptions of reality to spill from its pages.

My story ‘Rise, Dead Man’ follows a drug depraved young man on a quest for his next fix. It lands him in more than just deep trouble when he steals from the dead. His family, relationships, mind and life hangs in the balance as he tries to set things right.

The anthology, Darker Minds, will be available in March. Hope you get your copy. Then feel free to look me up and chat about it.

All the best.
