Lovecraft Readings on Youtube

I've posted a few more of my H.P. Lovecraft readings onto Youtube because I saw some new pics yesterday from the new movie version of The Colour out of Space and it made me wonder how many views I'd had on my Youtube video of my reading I did back in 2015.

I went to check, and discovered I had none - because I'd never posted it! In fact, I hadn't posted a whole load of my HPL readings, so I set about changing that straight away by posting The Colour out of Space (my personal favourite HPL story), and today I followed it up with The Rats in the Walls.

I'll post the others over time, and when I do more readings, I'll do likewise. I'm not sure if putting them on Youtube is actually beneficial, but if nothing else, it's more interesting than my home videos of people singing on a bus or a train going through a tunnel ... unless you're me, of course ;-)

After the Plague Begins in My Podcast Feed.

Hi there! Yes, many of you will have heard it already, but many won't have. And so I'm going to start podcasting my zombie apocalypse story, After the Plague, into my public podcast feed. 

If you have heard it, you can listen again (it stands up to a second listen) and you haven't then be warned, listener discretion is advised on this one; in an apocalypse, people can be rather unpleasant.

Dracula at Youtube

As you may know, I've been reading Bram Stoker's Dracula over at Patreon and I'm now podcasting it, chapter by chapter, into my public podcast feed. But I'm also releasing it, chapter by chapter, at Youtube. Here are the first two chapters ...

Cool Air by H.P. Lovecraft

Something for the weekend? How about H.P. Lovecraft's Cool Air?

In this episode I also talk about my forthcoming public appearance at the Wexworlds Festival in Wexford, Ireland on Saturday May 7th. Be there or be ... well, probably on the other side of the Atlantic or the Irish Sea, but still, be there in spirit. Maybe we can work out a way of streaming it or something. I'll look into it.

The Outsider by H.P. Lovecraft

Something for the Easter holiday Weekend? How about H.P. Lovecraft's "The Outsider"

Underwood and Flinch in the Audible Store!

At last! Underwood and Flinch: Disturbing the Devil is available from the Amazon Audible Store, and from iTunes.

Having processed the audio file to Audible specifications about two weeks ago, I just got the notification email through today. I'm delighted to finally see my stuff in the Audible store. Here's hoping it's the start of something exciting ... or at least something interesting ... though I'd settle for something awesome. Huzzah!!!

The final episode - Episode 7 -  of my zombie apocalypse story, After the Plague, is now available at Patreon for sponsors of $3+ a month. If you're a fan of post-apocalyptic zombie horror, why not take the $3 plunge and sign up to Patreon today? Find out more here.

Disturbing the Devil on Kindle - for FREE!!

Underwood and Flinch: Disturbing the Devil is now available as an ebook for Amazon Kindle. And for the next five days (starting today, 28th Sept), you can get a copy for FREE!! All I ask in return is that you please leave 5 stars at the Amazon store you buy it from (and maybe add a few kind words, if you have time). This will help the book fare better with readers who are unfamiliar with the world of Underwood and Flinch. It would also be mega-awesome if you could share the book on Facebook, Twitter, Goodreads, etc. Many thanks!!

Here's the blurb:
February 1863, and the newly opened Metropolitan Railway is the toast of London. Among the travellers tonight are the vampire, Lord Underwood, and his guardian, Ben Flinch. But they aren't travelling alone, for Underwood and Flinch have been discovered by a group intent on their destruction.

Disturbing the Devil is a journey into the smoky depths of the Victorian Underground; a stand-alone short story in the Underwood and Flinch universe, written by four-time Parsec Award-winning author, Mike Bennett. Expect blood.

The book was available as a pay-to-download audiobook for the last year, but has now been withdrawn in readiness for its release on the audiobook platform, Audible.com. I've submitted it to Audible but it takes about ten to fourteen days for them to give it a green light (or a red one *gulp!*). Needless to say, when it does go live, I'll let you know. This will be my first Audible release, so I'm interested to see how well it fares. It could lead to a whole new audience, which is an exciting prospect. Huzzah!!
