Short Stories (see all)

Tales of the Castle: Seacliff

A new version of a story that I wrote as a present for my Grandmother when I was 17. A dream, a nightmare, a revelation. In some ways a story about depression.

That Night David had a Dream

A very silly story

Solomon's Gate

A ghost story in the style of M.R. James. Solomon's gate is an extract from my first story collection The Night Alphabet.

A Midsummer's Night

The inspiration for this was quite simple, the sound of rain on the leaves outside my bedroom window. The version linked above is a recent re-write of something I wrote as a teenager, intended for a magazine contest submission.

You can read the original here

The Liquorice Shop

A (very) short story about a sweet shop.

Dream Diary

A piece of Pokemon inspired Fan-Fiction / Horror.
