Catheater Street seemed dark even in the long summer evenings, so when winter arrived it needed more than just the council lighting to disperse the premature onset of night. No stars or moon could ever be seen from Catheater Street. I loved it, though. Such a place suited my thoughts and...

It's terrifying to receive a misdiagnosis, especially if it is assumed to be a correct diagnosis when you are first terrified by it. When it later turns out to be a misdiagnosis, your terror, in hindsight, becomes quite misplaced. But the terror never really goes away. Indeed, the terror...

The shop was a relatively ordinary one, with cracked paint on its frames revealing it was not a terribly successful business but with wide and healthy glass in its show-window, an old-fashioned bell to indicate its door opening or shutting, with all manner of bric-a-brac being sold, some...

The greatest enjoyment is the least enjoyment. Well, let me qualify that. I am not a real person as such; I am a character in a story, as you can see for yourself. Yet, that sounds pretentious, so let me tell you that I am a real person, after all; it's just that I need someone else to tell...

The group of people squatting in a circle on the warm grass dealt with their own failings, not only each of them exposing such failings on an individual personal basis but also shuffling all of the failings together, metaphorically interleaving them, as with any pack of cards used...

An area of high land where one could chew the fat of the view. The prime spot for spotting an unexpected UFO or the sudden onset of World’s end. A situation and atmosphere inclined towards the sight of strange events, even if no strange events eventually arose. There were always...

"Don't say anything," was the last thing she said. There was a hush that lengthened into a silence, a long silence, as we stared at each other. When someone says "Don't say anything" to you with a certain emphasis on the words, the meaning is often clear. Do not DARE...

I have just revised my own favourite story written by myself! You can read it here as a free taster for a new independently published hardback book of my stuff that has just been agreed: http://admtoah.wordpress.com/

“That’s the way to doooo it!” The voice was a cross between squeaks and articulate sneezes. Indeed, this was the Punch puppet from the Punch & Judy show. It was an actual cross - as were the other puppets: Judy herself, the policeman, the doctor, the clacking crocodile, Toby the Dog...

I have now completed rewrites of some of the sixty-seven stories from Weirdmonger, a book that was originally published by Prime in 2003 and now out of print: selling these days at quite high prices when used copies come up. My own past views on all sixty-seven stories are shown in...
