Deadman's Tome! More stories published!

It seems to have been my lucky month for publishing.

As well as my story "Lost Kittens at the Window" getting published, I've had another couple accepted by Deadman's Tome, a site for horror writers.

The first story is one I wrote based on a play I devised for a young theatre group a few years ago. The group consisted of Polish students who were studying Japanese and English. Myself and my friend, Yoichi Iida, decided to do an evening of ghost stories called "Kaidankai".

As you'll probably guess, most of the stories were Japanese (and one M.R. James story to keep the English hand in) and one, "The tale of Aka Manto" dealt with urban myths of bathroom haunting ghosts! In particular, Aka Manto, who offers his victims a red or a blue scarf (and the death scene shows which you chose) and that charming little cherub of the girls' toilets, Hanako San

Anyway... during my story writing phase, I adapted the play script into a short story which has since been published by the jolly chaps at Deadman's Tome.

Please check it out and the other authors, leave a like and a comment (we get paid for those ;-) )

But maybe go to the toilet... FIRST.

Deadman's Tome have also agreed to publish something which was my first short ghost story and later became a ghostly play in a performance called "Tales of Terror".
