Now this list could go on and on 4eva... so I'm just going to throw some of my main faves down even though there will be hundreds still remaining.
I love the old horrors... The Halloween movies, Elm Street movies, some of the Fridays, Evil Dead Series, Hellraiser fucking rules YAY, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Saw I,II & III,Luv the Star Wars and Star Trek movies (yes I already know I'm a big nerd lol), Also luv the Marvel Movies... great to see some of my childhood heroes kicking ass.
Hi Everyone.
My name is Troy Barnes and I am a self financed writer of Dark Fiction/Horror who resides in Tasmania, Australia.
I released my debut novel DEADLIGHT in March 2007. DEADLIGHT has been sold at independent bookstores throughout Australia and also via my website to the USA.
On 31st October 2008 I released my second novel MONOCHROMACY and the fans of DEADLIGHT have been loving it.
Using determination and hard work I have been able to pass copies of DEADLIGHT in to the hands of Eric Bana, Leigh Whannell and Steven Spielberg. I am a realist and do not suddenly expect any of these guys to call me and say they want to make a movie about it, but you never know where those copies may end up in the future.
I live my life using the theory that nothing will come to you if you just expect it to happen. You need to chase your dreams until they are close enough for you to grab with your own hands.
So far.....so good.
When asked why I self published my answer has always been the same.
If you were a new band you would not go to a recording company and just expect them to make a cd and turn you into a world wide success. You would gig everywhere possible. You would make your own cd's and sell them to the ever-expanding fan base. You would push your work into every corner possible, and then approach the big companies OR hope that you are noticed along the way.
This is what I am aiming at. I now have two novels in print around Australia, and selling to the USA. I plan to release my first anthology mid 2009, and then the next novel by the end of 2009 or early 2010.
This pure determination that I have has unfortunately caused the end of my marriage, and also leaves many sleepless nights due to the fact that I manage a retail store 5-6 days a week....BUT.... I will never give up because once you find out what you really want to do with your life, there is no turning back.
I am also damn proud to be a member of the Australian Horror Writers Association. This is one hell of a fantastic group of amazingly talented people.

If you would like to read a sample of one of the stories from ISLINGTON CROCODILES’ you can do that now as one of the stories is posted on the Islington Crocodiles blog page. RAIDERS is the disturbing story of Barwise and Micky.
As Graham Joyce says in his foreword to ISLINGTON CROCODILES, ‘This is the edge.’
You can follow this link direct to the blog page
RAIDERS
Enjoy it, and let us know what you think, leave a comment.
Also, if you are interested in buying a copy of ISLINGTON CROCODILES you can, as before, do that here:

Chicks Dig Scars - Chapter One
Chicks dig scars, everyone knows that, right? Meet Severence DeSnappio, a man who creates ‘fake’ injuries for desperate clients. He’ll get you a stab wound, shot gun blast, snowboarding injury - but a bite from a great white shark?
Set in Miami, Chicks Dig scars is a lyrical, Lynchian mix of dream logic and hard boiled detection.
Subscribe to my blog to follow the serialization.
