This week on Trapped By Monsters: Charles Burns and cheese.

This week on Trapped By Monsters: an opportunity and a warning

On Saturday 27th Oct I’ll be emerging from my writing bathysphere for this

I’m doing my stuff at this year’s London Anarchist Bookfair in the Older Kids Space from 2pm. See you there?

The final part of FAMILY is now live. If you do click through, watch out for an especially awesome choice of what to show by Laura Trinder. And if you want to read the whole thing and see all Laura’s brilliant artwork for it, the story starts here.

Working with illustrators is an absolute blast. Here’s to future sinister masterplans…!

FAMILY – the 13-part horror story I’ve been serialising free on Trapped By Monsters together with beautiful illustrations created especially by Laura Trinder – is reaching its climax. Here’s a sneak peek at Part 11, coming this Friday:

For Part 10, live as of noon today (plus links to all the previous parts), click here.

It is with great delight that I give the following warning: Part 13 contains what just might be the most horrible thing I’ve ever written. MOO HOO HA HA. 😀

That’s from Holly Harkness at her excellent blog Spinechills.

For Part 4 of FAMILY (and links to earlier episodes) click here.

A sinister masterplan is about to come to fruition: from next Friday (10th Aug) and for about six weeks thereafter I’m going to be posting a short story of mine free on Trapped By Monsters together with some gorgeous and terrifying illustrations created especially by Laura Trinder.

Here’s the announcement I just put up on TBM:

“Long-term followers of this blog might remember Jethro’s Ace of Hearts, the story of mine I serialized free here on TBM in thirteen parts with illustrations by David Melling. If you like that, get ready for this…

FAMILY

a horror story

written by Sam Enthoven, illustrated by Laura Trinder

A Trapped By Monsters EXCLUSIVE!

Part One to post at noon GMT on Friday 10th August 2012

Twelve more parts to come on Mondays and Fridays thereafter.

Nothing’s more important than family.’”

…Hope you’ll check in next Fri. 😀

…All right. I’m delighted to report that most of my head-holes have now closed up, and I’m back where I intend to stay for the rest of the summer – at the bottom of the deepest of them, digging.

This week on Trapped By Monsters: some rules for writing from George Orwell.

On pills and on the mend – or I hope so. I want to get back to writing my new novel but my head‘s more full of holes than this beautiful and scary video by Akronyme Analogiker.

This week on TBM I recommend two of my favourite books ever: take a step into The Unknown with Solaris by Stanislaw Lem and Roadside Picnic by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky.
