Pre-Order: The Forest Knows The True Beast

Image
One final line. Countless ways to reach it.  I'm absolutely delighted to have a short story published in a brand new shared-line anthology from Lemon Jelly Press. The Forest Knows the True Beast  features short stories and poetry built around one simple challenge: every contributor was asked to create an original piece ending with the exact same sentence: The forest knows the true beast. What comes before those words is entirely their own. The collection moves through horror, folklore, fantasy, eco-fiction, dark fairy tales and poetry, with each writer taking the shared ending somewhere completely different. Strange creatures wait between the trees, old legends are reimagined, landscapes fight back and familiar worlds become unsettling. At its heart, this is a celebration of imagination, interpretation and the many different stories that can grow from a single line. Different voices follow different paths, but all end with the same final sentence. If you feel so inclined, you ...

Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday

Image
1993 Dir. Adam Marcus While up to his old tricks at Crystal Lake, Jason is blown to smithereens by the FBI. During the autopsy however, his demonic spirit possesses the coroner who sets off on a killing spree, in search of Jason’s hitherto unmentioned niece, Jessica, the only person who can stop him once and for all. With his spirit jumping from person to person by way of a parasitic, demonic heart (!) rendering those it possesses indestructible, it won’t be an easy task for Jessica to defeat him… “ Through a Voorhees was he born... Through a Voorhees may he be reborn... And only by the hands of a Voorhees will he die .” Another year, another Friday the 13th movie which claimed to be the last in the series. Wasn’t that supposed to be The Final Chapter back in ’84? My brain hurts. New Line Cinema now owned the rights to the series (well, to the name of 'Jason Voorhees', anyway), and Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday was also the first film in the series since the ...
