Site relaunch

Welcome to the relaunch of the site. Everything’s been jazzed up and moved around, hopefully to make it all more accessible. Yes, we did say “jazzed up”. We know no-one uses that expression any more. What of it? We may say “spiffing” later too if we feel like it.

As a special treat, we’re delighted to kick off the new site with a bonus - Simon Duric’s excellent short movie of Michael’s story LATER...

BFS SHORT STORY AWARD Nomination

We’re delighted to announce that Michael’s story SAD, DARK THING (published in Stephen Jones’ A BOOK OF HORRORS, from Jo Fletcher Books) has been nominated for Best Short Story in the 2012 British Fantasy Awards.

We're delighted to announce the launch of ememess.com, a new sister site for accessing ebook editions of Michael's short fiction.

Three short stories will be released on a bi-weekly basis, and also collected in issues - in which case one of the stories comes free. The first issue contains classic stories HELL HATH ENLARGED HERSELF and MORE TOMORROW, along with DIET HELL.

The site will also feature special items from time to time, and is launching that strand with Michael's only novella to date - THE VACCINATOR.

Run, don't walk - to ememess press.
