Buk and Jimmy Go West
I’m thrilled to announce the release of my latest book, Buk and Jimmy Go West. This wild and bloody novella combines my love of the cinema with my fascination for true crime. Available in both trade paperback and digital editions. Published by the wonderful Australian small press, LegumeMan Books. For more information, click here.
Upcoming Releases
I have two new books out soon. The first, Buk and Jimmy Go West, is at the printers as I type this, and should be out very soon in trade paperback and digital from LegumeMan Books. This novella is a wild, bloody homage to cinema and concerns a movie obsessed serial killer who cuts a bloody path across the American Southwest while teaching a young man about his murderous ways (as well as his favourite movies).
The second book is the final instalment in the ‘Jungle‘ trilogy, Suburban Jungle. Set four years after the events in the first book, this apocalyptic story sees the world still battling to survive in this hostile jungle land, and is the darkest chapter in the trilogy. Due to be published early next year in limited edition paperback from Tasmaniac Publications.

Horror Trippin’ to the Mall of the Dead
I’ve finally uploaded my photos from my trip in May 2001 to the Monroeville Mall, which is where the original Dawn of the Dead was filmed. While I unfortunately didn’t take any photos of the inside of the mall (the law told me I wasn’t allowed to), I did take some shots of the outside. So step back to a time of flares, disco and undead Hare Krishnas, and check out the photos here.

Just a quick heads-up to all my German readers: the German mass-market edition of my novel, Die Mutter, has just been released by Heyne. You can purchase the book direct from the publisher, or from various online stores such as Amazon.de.
