(1/2) People have asked me which of these two books they should read first.
Honestly, it doesn’t really matter.
The Tape house chronologically came first, and acts as a prequel, but One Halloween Night was finished and released first last year as part of my Holiday Horror series.

#HorrorWritersChat Hi - Mark Woods here, chef and uk horror writer from Norfolk where most of my work is set.
From my latest short story collection, Fear of the Dark 2: “Remember,” the old man said. “Sometimes it’s not the dark you need to be afraid of, but what’s hiding in it.”

I don’t think any subgenre of horror is overdone - zombies, I’m looking at you - you just need to find a new approach no-one, or few, have done before. Both my zombie books try to do something different - successfully or not, only you can judge. #horrorwriterschat

I think they can do both - my most extreme horror to date, Feed, was written just to gross people out, but many have said it also has a moral message: be very careful who you piss off…

One of my goals this year is to complete #project365 where you publish one photo you’ve took for every day of the year.
These are my first 3, taken over the last few days during walks I’ve undertaken.
