ICYMI: An excerpt for my latest story released today, titled 'The thin blue line'

He tried in vain to wrestle free from the restraints as he came to. The ropes were bound tightly around his wrist and ankles, as life slowly ebbed from his battered and bruised body. Repeated blows came from the darkness with such brute force, hammering him from every angle, as he howled out in agony, pleading with them to stop.

In today's story 'The Forbidden Book', a continuation from 'Musings from the Quill', our writer has almost finished his masterpiece and is skirting the line with the macabre around his choice of book binding. It will really get under your skin!!

It is #darkfiction, so again, it is not for the squeamish. I'd love to know what you think of it.

In today's story 'Innuendo', we revisit an earlier story (Silhouette) where a writer travels to a small country town and stumbles upon a house with a dubious past.

The townsfolk shut up shop, but something compels him to investigate as he is drawn into a web of intrigue, uncovering a tangled web of rumours and innuendo. Will anyone reveal their secrets?

I'd love to know what you think. If you liked it, feel free to give it a 🚀
