Many thanks to Roisin Gorman at the Sunday World for such a fabulous news article about my Valentine’s Day ghost collection, Love you to Death. It was lovely to go for a dander to the local shop and pick up a copy this morning.
For readers in Northern Ireland, check out page 22 to read about Love you to Death, which has been in horror anthologies bestsellers in the UK for the past 9 days since it was published, and spent two days in bestsellers in the US and Canada too. I guess there are many kindred spirits (pun intended) out there who love ghost stories for Valentine’s Day just as much as I do. After all, I wrote this collection because I couldn’t find any Valentine’s Day horror out there other than slasher stuff, which isn’t my thing. If, like me, you prefer ghosts for Valentine’s Day, then consider this book just for you!
