As well as being a screenwriter, novelist and journalist, Paul Finch manages to find the time to edit a series of regional British horror anthologies, published by Gray Friar Press. I’m very grateful to be included in the latest, Terror Tales of Wales.
“The Rising Tide” is set in beautiful Pembrokeshire. Thank you to the Moore family for the sea at Newgale and the Taylors for the mountains of the Preselis. Their knowledge of local folklore was invaluable.

Reeeeally looking forward to this, and to sharing some pages with you again 🙂
Likewise, lovely. What have you been up to?
Lots of writing lately, which is great. How about you? Apart from appearing in every best of under the sun!
Not wriitng as much as I want to due to pressure of the day job, but am plodding on.
Every best of? I wish. This from the man with a British Fantasy Award for Best Short Story. Where do you keep it, just out of interest? Mantlepiece? Desk? Downstairs loo???
I carry it with me always and show people, all the time. I had a special carry pouch made for it so I can wear it kangaroo styley. 🙂
(It’s on the ego shelf, with the published so fars)
That’s hilarious. You could do signed photos of you and the trophy for your fans 😉
Seriously though- I suspect you’re going to need a bigger shelf soon…
