In huge news, I’ve been invited to talk at the Melbourne Writers Festival (which I’m told is quite rare for genre writers).

  I can now say I’ve made it into my favourite magazine. Canadian horror mag Rue Morgue (which I’ve subscribed to for some years) has an article on Wolf Creek: Origin in their May 2014 issue (#144). I’m particularly pleased Alison managed to include my tribute to Jack Ketchum in there. And many thanks to […]
