![]() ![]() ![]() □ Small town beach romances are my new favourite thing. So the experience with Sammy's dad was a heartfelt one for me - I cried the entire time I wrote that scene. □ Between hubs and I, we've lost a few family members to dementia, with likely more in our lifetime (and we're prepared for us, too!). □ I wrote it in three days (then spent two weeks editing it!). □ I wasn't supposed to add suspense into this book but I just couldn't help it. □ Ben Brickman was inspired by my absolute fave Masterchef competitor. □ My uncle used to be moored at Trinity beach for over a decade. Here's a few little secrets about this story: It's set in the tropical town of Trinity Beach, which is near Cairns in Far North Queensland. It's part of The Wild Rose Press' One Scoop or Two series, and there will be another cute little story releasing in July to complete this duet. □ DREAMING OF A RASPBERRY SWIRL SUNDAE by Sofia Aves is a lunch-hour read with a little bit of flirty, a dash of dirty, and a scoop of suspense. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This new edition includes all the stories from the original 1983 edition, plus an additional rare tale and the author’s afterword from the Scream/Press limited edition, and features a new introduction by Ramsey Campbell.

In A Lonely Place (Hardback) Karl Edward Wagner (author), Ramsey Campbell (author of introduction) Sign in to write a review £29. His seminal volume In a Lonely Place collects eight of his best tales, including “In the Pines,” a classic ghost story evocatively set in the Tennessee woods, “Beyond Any Measure,” an original take on the vampire story, “River of Night’s Dreaming,” a surreal and nightmarish masterpiece inspired by The King in Yellow, and the author’s most famous tale, “Sticks,” a disturbing story thought by many to have been the basis for The Blair Witch Project. Karl Edward Wagner (1945-1994) has earned a reputation as one of the finest horror writers of the modern era, but his work has been out of print and nearly unobtainable for many years. One of the most important horror collections of modern times, back in print at last! Trade Paperback – Valancourt – Jan 2023 – 268 pages ![]() |
