   Paul's Blurbs
About me:

I'm a UK based horror and dark fantasy author with three collections published (Alone (In the Dark), Touching the Flame, and FunnyBones) and three novellas (Signs of Life, The Lazarus Condition, and Dalton Quayle Rides Out) so far. Also teach art, creative writing and film/media studies, plus run workshops with my wife the horror writer Marie O'Regan.

Have also written more than 1000 articles and reviews for news-stand magazines (including SFX, DeathRay, Dreamwatch, Rue Morgue, Fangoria and The Dark Side) plus contributed to Wallflower's A-Z of Contemporary American Directors. My latest non-fiction book is The Hellraiser Films and Their Legacy with an introduction by Doug (Pinhead) Bradley.

I co-edit the Terror Tales anthologies, edit the Shadow Writer books, and am Special Publications Editor for the British Fantasy Society, where I work on projects with authors like Clive (Abarat & Hellraiser ) Barker, Robert (Legends) Silverberg, Brian (Spielberg's A.I.) Aldiss, Stephen (Eleventh Hour) Gallagher, Muriel (Furnace & The Tube) Gray, Graham (The Manitou) Masterton, Christopher (Roofworld) Fowler and many more.

You can find my site at www.shadow-writer.co.uk which has featured Guest Writers including Stephen King, James Herbert and Neil Gaiman.
Who I'd like to meet:
Other authors, film-makers, people interested in the genre really.

GUD Magazine





Feb 26 2008 8:29 PM

Just wanted to let you (and your comment-reading friends) know that GUD Issue 2 is now available for purchase! And if you create a GUD Magazine acccount, you'll get a full story or poem from the issue free, just to show you what we're made of!

Issue 2 celebrates Heaven, Earth, and Space in-between; it is touched by religion, grounded in technology and comfortable with the occult.

Including a language-stretching piece triggered by the Talmud from the legendary Hugh Fox, poems by haiku heavy-hitter Jim Kacian, the surprisingly touching “By Zombies; Eaten” from Christopher William Buecheler, and an alien perspective on human spirituality by Tina Connolly in the remarkable “The Salivary Reflex”

— all part of a drool-worthy two-hundred page selection of over twenty authors and artists.
