Today we are forgetting all about Grexits and grubby British newspapers and turning our attention to an altogether much more palatable subject. Horror-Thriller novels. And mine in particular.
What’s that got to do with Symi? I hear you shout in a mass outcry of, ‘Oh Lord! What’s he going on about today?’ Well, it was written here, though it’s set somewhere else. And it is now published and available on Amazon (UK, Europe and Com) and also on Lulu and on Kindle. You can find it on Amazon.co.uk Kindle edition here.
And you can find the paperback version here.
Yes, it is a thriller and yes, there are some yucky bits in it, but nothing too yucky. In fact, I’ve been told by my ‘beta readers’ (hate that expression) that it’s more creepy/scary then gory horror. But still, make what you will of it. And if you do get a copy and read it please consider writing a review as the reviews on Amazon really do help. (Some for ‘the Judas Inheritance’ are quoted on the back of ‘Lonely House’ so you might end up in print yourself.
That’s it for today, a plug for the new novel. I will be away now to carry on with the next one which is far funnier, far less horrific and a lot gayer than Lonely House. But, just so you know: here’s the blurb for LH:
“Drover and Pete are two hopeful drifters looking for a better life. Desperate for food, they break into an isolated house deep in a forest. There they accidentally shoot an old man just as the rest of his family arrive for a birthday gathering.
Under intense suspicion from the family, the boys attempt to cover up the accident. But they are not the only ones keeping a murderous secret. Mistrust and deception unearth a primeval ritual as the lies give way to a terrifying truth.
With time running out and a deadly force closing in, Drover and Pete’s survival rests on the strength of their friendship, but they must face some horrific choices in order to stay alive.”
James Collins is the author of The Judas Inheritance on which is based the forthcoming feature film The Thirteenth, starring Kurtis Stacey, Rebecca Grant, Wookie Meyer, Richard Syms, and Lorna Doyle. He lives and works in Greece. This is his ninth novel and second horror-thriller.
