About me:

Visit www.samuelminier.com for access to my horror and "darkly speculative" writing. I've published somewhere around fifty stories and poems in a number of magazines, webzines, and anthologies (check out the slideshow for cover samples). Lots of stories and poems on the website are FREE, and they're so much more interesting than a list of the thirty bands I listen to, I promise... Also, please check out "Carcass", a first attempt at "no budget" (i.e., the sound and lighting ain't so hot) short film making: Carcass
.. ... and also our submission to George Romero's DIARY OF THE DEAD short-film contest: The Dead Must Go
..

Who I'd like to meet:

All the people who love my writing (and the two assholes who don't). Why are you still here? www.samuelminier.com

    Thank you for the kind words Samuel. I can imagine as a horror writer, Poe has had a great influence on you. I am a big Jonny Cash fan and my voice does seem to lend itself to that style. Have you heard El Dorado? Very Cash.

    Top ten Wild Child Publishing horror novel after two days…

    Image and video hosting by TinyPic

    'For weeks, I have tossed and turned in my bed in turmoil over whether to publish this. But the people of this town must be warned. Everyone must be aware of the danger lurking in the dark, waiting.
    '

    Samhane. Just a sleepy town in the rolling hills of northern England. A nice place to live.


    Few people know the truth.


    Donald Patterson travels to Samhane in pursuit of a sadistic murderer and rapist.
    Unless Donald reaches Orchard House by midnight, his fiancée will be the star of the next torturous broadcast…

    Brian Rathbone and his son are already in Samhane, hired by the mayor. Specialist exterminators, their talents have helped to deal with the 'little problems' that have begun to massacre the residents.
    But as events take a more sinister turn, Brian wonders about the true reason they are there…

    Blood and carnage. Pain and suffering. Desire and sweet chaos.


    Welcome to Samhane.
