I talk a lot. It\u2019s not that I don\u2019t enjoy listening to flesh-people (I find them jolly interesting), it\u2019s not a defence mechanism, and it\u2019s not meant to overwhelm others – but my brain is one of those busy, shallow things, always on the go. If you\u2019ve seen a pond with loads of mad little insects skimming across the surface in constant, frenetic motion, well, that surface is me. All the other writers are the deeper, contemplative waters beneath.<\/p>\n

\"flesh-people\"<\/a>
two typical flesh-people. last week<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So, apart from my regular agoraphobia, meeting flesh-people is peculiar. Last week I went to a meeting of the Scandalous Bohemians, a group of Holmesian enthusiasts, and very nice it was too. Being well-mannered, I tried to not chip in all the time. Because of my shallow trivia-packed mind, I had things to say on almost every topic, but I sat back listening as much as I could. I was a Good Dog. Relatively.<\/p>\n

In the next fortnight, I\u2019m also making myself go to the annual UK Fantasycon, and speaking at the Ryedale Spookfest, part of their Literary Festival. More flesh-people. The first will be eased by my minder being present, there being a bar, and the fact that there are some nice folk I know there. The second may be helped by the advantage that I\u2019m being interviewed, where you\u2019re expected to talk. Phew.<\/p>\n

I was reminded, looking at these commitments, of Mr Edwin Dry, the Deptford Assassin, who represents my alter-ego, the soul who neither talks a lot nor really wishes to hear the ins and outs of other lives:<\/p>\n

\u201cArthur Hill was of modest county stock, a junior manager in his father\u2019s engineering firm. Mr Dry was not greatly interested in his targets, but had endured the half-drunk father\u2019s long, sometimes tearful explanation. A good boy, a credit to his late mother, bright at school. Arthur and his beloved gun-dog, the delightful country walks with his father and cousins\u2026 there had seemed no end to it.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cMr Dry had been reminded why he merely killed people. Living with them must be intolerable.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2018The Intrusion\u2019, John Linwood Grant<\/em><\/p>\n

And I sort of admire Mr Dry for simplifying things by making a decision early in his life: get on with your work, and filter out the nonsense that flesh-people produce. It does, unfortunately, make you into a quiet, lethal assassin working to a morality no one else can understand. Swings and roundabouts.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think my chattering self would last long if the Deptford Assassin was around. Mr Dry asks questions only when he wishes to know something directly of value to his work. Most people decide they\u2019d better answer, sharpish. He listens only when necessary, when useful. It\u2019s a fine discipline when you pad the streets of London with purpose.<\/p>\n

Perhaps he\u2019s the Anti-Linwood Grant, who will save us all.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
in which mr dry hunts and listens, but rarely speaks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

By the way, in all of these social situations I\u2019d prefer to have the little donkeys (the lurchers, to you) with me, but practicalities of hotel policies aside, they have their own quirks. Chilli is very dominant, and bashes people in the groin to say hello, plus she tells almost every other dog to submit. And Django, who is affable and bumbling, likes to urinate on things and make them his. Not everyone likes a large black lurcher leaping into their lap whilst a half-kangaroo beast claims their briefcase, funnily enough.<\/p>\n

So should you really wish, you can meet me and hear me mutter at Fantasycon 2018, in Chester from 19th \u2013 21st October<\/strong>, and the Ryedale Spookfest, in Malton, Yorkshire, Saturday 27th October<\/strong>. Or you can be like the Deptford Assassin, and get on with something useful.<\/p>\n

OCTOBER FRIGHTS BLOGHOP<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Time has been horrendously pressing this year, and we haven\u2019t had time to do the October Frights Blog Hop justice \u2013 here are some writers (who are also flesh-people) we meant to mention . Organiser Anita Stewart<\/strong><\/span> has been busy with a series which we want to cover on greydogtales<\/em> in the future, as one of our reviewers says it looks very promising \u2013 The Saga of the Outer Islands<\/em>. Dark fantasy, with the second book out last month.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Amazon UK http:\/\/amzn.eu\/d\/jbeaTyJ<\/a><\/p>\n

Amazon US http:\/\/a.co\/d\/4MjXeYZ<\/a><\/p>\n

Another participant in October Frights, Christine Verstraete<\/strong><\/span> has released her second \u2018Lizzie Borden\u2019 re-imagined horror novel, Lizzie Borden Zombie Hunter 2: The Axe will Fall<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Amazon UK http:\/\/amzn.eu\/d\/06yFDz0<\/a><\/p>\n

Amazon US http:\/\/a.co\/d\/6pyM4n2<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally, with Halloween on its way, we\u2019ll nod to a further participant, one who has something coming out on October 26th 2018, deliberately timed for the season (so obviously, we haven\u2019t been able to read it yet). Last autumn, writer Stephanie Ayers<\/strong><\/span> put out the first of a series of collections of short fiction, The 13: Tales of Illusory<\/em>, and this year\u2019s offering is The 13: Tales of Macabre<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cKiller watermelons, murderous jewelry boxes, centenarian sea whisperers, creatures of myth\/legend, and more…<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThis supernatural story collection will make you reconsider everything you thought you knew. At night you’ll hover under your covers while looking over your shoulder in the day. Down, down in the depths they fell; bodies in the dark of a liquid hell. Can you survive all 12?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Stephanie adds:<\/p>\n

“I write a lot of short stories, 90% of them creepy, spooky, horror-ish. I decided I would do one book of short stories a year, released around Halloween. Thus the whole The 13 series was born…<\/em><\/p>\n

“Next I had to pick through all my stories and figure out which ones belonged in this volume. I revised and added to many of them and even wrote a few new stories, so several of them are never before seen, not even on my blog. I expect readers to get a little grossed out, feel a little squeamish, cower under their blankets, and look over their shoulders. I hope each story plays like a movie in their head and their spine crawls.”<\/em><\/p>\n
