Just found out that apparently the awesome #horror anthology I’m in — Hardcore Horror — on Earth Island Books has broken into the top 100 horror anthologies on Amazon and, even better (and more niche), we’re at number 7 in “Cosmic and Eldrich Horror” amzn.eu/d/f5chJS2

I hope the people shocked about what Nigel Farage said at school haven’t been listening to what he’s been saying openly and repeatedly for his entire political career…
