Newt's Nightmares
Greetings, my wicked darlings!
My body was left scared and deformed by the truly magnificent launch party for Tales of the Macabre, Vol. 3. Thank you to everyone who attended.
November saw two new stories hit your inboxes, and December promises even more. While I took a brief hiatus to organise and celebrate the release, I’ve been feverishly hammering away at new tales. Four fresh horrors are complete and with my beta readers, with more lurking in the shadows. A novel may be on the horizon, I’d like it to be, if I can decide on a suitable outline, but for now, enjoy the short-form frights!
A Victorian Gothic Short Story: A recluse reluctantly enlists the help of a polite but manipulative Duke of Hell to master the manners of high society.
A Victorian Dark Short Story: In the gaslit streets of 1891 London, a Victorian courtesan in London endures the sadistic whims of a wealthy patron.
Sweet screams,
Newt
