‘Primal Urges’ has been profiled in an article at HorrorSquad, a popular website dedicated to horror films. It’s accompanied by another indie short, ‘Tell Tale Heart’, based on Poe’s short story. You can see them both here and check out HorrorSquad for other gory goodies.

One of my stories that originally appeared in the Herald Sun, ‘Grandad Still Worth Gold To Me’, has been published in the book The Perfect Gift For A Man. This collection features 30 stories about reinventing manhood – very cool.
This book came together after an online campaign (Manweek) by Reachout and Triple J to encourage men to speak about their experiences.
All proceeds go to Inspire (www.inspire.org.au), an organisation dedicated to helping Australians lead happier lives.
A free version is available but please also consider buying a copy for friends and family.

Everyday Weirdness have published my new piece of flash fiction, A Shagger’s Tail. This story follows the plight of a young bloke who has just been dumped by his girlfriend via text message and comes home to find he has a new and particularly dodgy flat mate called ‘Pickles Magee’. It features giant rats, A-Team collectible figurines and late night escapades with Video Ezy shop assistants. What more could one want?
