Synopsis

The Other Room is a collection of weird horror fiction, containing twelve stories of the uncanny and the surreal. A naive student finds that his crumbling bedsit can be as haunted as any Gothic mansion. A man stumbles across another world which is the mirror image of his own. A young woman who everyone thinks is beautiful wonders why, given what she sees in the mirror each morning. Influenced by writers such as Ramsey Campbell, Shirley Jackson, and Robert Aickman these tales, like all good horror stories, are as much about the psychology of the protagonist as the fate that awaits them. The Other Room contains both new and previously published stories that will challenge your conceptions of horror and literary fiction.

About this title

About the Author

I'm a writer from Nottingham, England and I mainly write short stories. Most of what I write is dark, supernatural fiction, although not necessarily 'horror' in the blood and guts sense. My main influences are writers like Ramsey Campbell, Shirley Jackson, and Robert Aickman. I've had stories published in magazines like Dark Moon Digest and Morpheus Tales, and the anthologies Pulp Ink 2 and Off The Record 2. I enjoy the unexplained, the psychological, and the ambiguous in my weird fiction, and this is the kind of story I try and write. I drink Guinness, if anyone's offering.
