- Fear. It's what makes us feel most alive, at the moment we need it most, the 'fight or flight' response. But what causes it? What is the definitive fear? For each of us, something different I'm sure.
So what's your fear? Don't know? Or don't want to admit it...
This is a collection of short stories, I hope you enjoy them. They each contain an element of fear, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are meant to scare you. They are written to make you think about your own fears.
Stay with me a while, let us force our fears out into the open, face them, nurture them, and feel more alive from doing so.

Welcome...
Amongst many other interests, I am most fascinated by what terrifies us. Fear is an amazing emotion, it creeps up on us when we least expect it. Sometimes it is unwelcome, and we try to shun away from it. Other times, it is like a warm blanket we draw in closer to keep off the chill.
Fear permeates every moment of our lives. Horror fiction reminds us of those moments, like when we were kids, when we thought for just a short while that there really was something under the bed, or lurking in the wardrobe. The Boogeyman, the Vampire, the Ice Queen, the list is endless.
But there are far more fears than just the paranormal. Look around yourself, frighten yourself every once in a while. Jump from the top of the swings. Balance on the high wall. Go faster on your bike than you've ever dared go before. And when you feel fear, that gut wrenching, breath snatching, buttock cheek clenching fear, you will truly be alive.
About me: I'm 26, single, recovering from the breakdown of a long term relationship. I've seen people die, held lives in my hands, and saved just as many. Maybe I'm a morbid bugger, maybe I need to get out more. Probably.
Why do I write? Because I can.
How do I write? Oh, c'mon, I'm not gonna tell you all my secrets on our first date, now am I?

NicTei8/18/08Well, the story you added was great, I think it deals with issues that many people have to face at one point in their life, but I don't (no offense) think it's really horror. That could be because I don't have the feelings necessary to consider a loved-one using drugs and smoking horrifying, or because I just wanted to be scared out of my pants. ... Actually, I'm in a public library right now, so being scared out of my pants would probably result in 'indecent exposure' charges.

Hi. I noticed that you were a fan of my books. Thanks for becoming a fan!

Carolyn S10/19/07Hi Andy, I just found you from my friend Jane's page and as you are a horror writer I thought I must have a wee look. And boy, am I glad I did! I am an avid reader (always have 4 books on bedside table so that as soon as I've finished one I've got another ready to start)and mostly its horror books I read, but also anything to do with blood, guts and gore, hence I also read a lot of forensic based books or medical type horror. I'm sure that one day, hopefully, your name will be on the spine of a book on my bedside table. Excellent work!

Jonny Havron10/2/07Didn't want to advertise my book in the review but I still wanted to advertise it
My new book The Aether, is a good read (i hope) whilst it arouses questions about the world we live in. I've only just started it so there's only 5 chapters at the moment (because theyre shortish ones) but i seem to be going at a pace of about a chapter a day. Please check it out, I think you'll like it. http://www.bebo.com/The-Aether Thanks

Malgosia Skawinski9/30/07I really liked 'All The Things She Said,' I was gripped as much by your writing as by the plot! I must say I prefer it to 'The Lure', but then 'The Lure' is 'work in progress, so it's difficult to form a proper view of it. ...Any progress yet? ...Or are you going to concentrate on other projects? x

Haccp Would Not Be Pleased8/20/07Andy have you written a full length horror book before? I'd like to know cos I'm attempting to write a full length book, an I feel I need advice on where to take it, and how to overcome certain parts within it... http://bebo.com/TheLastCry It would be great if you could review it, just tell me if I'm on the right track and what needs improving... Thanks. Chris.

Xaphriel8/19/07Man, that new one, 'All the things she said'... You've ruined lesbians for me. Completely. But it was definitely worth it! That is one seriously freaky story, like if 'Carrie' had been genuinely frightening. I tip my hat to thee.
Awesome Great collection of stories! Read and re-read Rusty Shovel. This is real horror - elegant and unsettling.
by Philip 1/12/08The Things She Said... Wel I don't normally read horror but this stuff was diffrent. There was the right mix of fear and repultion and I'm suprised I enjoyed it! Well thats all I can say as your the one teaching me...

Wow! I have only read rusty shovel and it's realy good!!!!!
by Rachael 11/1/07You're a great writer and i will come back to this
interesting.. i liked the rusty shovel the best. the last line was awesome.
by Michaela 11/1/07i find your stories very interesting, though sometimes a little gory! i would be careful when writing from a female perspective, i would imagine that to be quite challenging..
thank you for the review it was constructive. i think we have different tastes in writing to be honest.
but i appreciate your point
and i definately appreciate your work! i think you should be writing scifi/horror novels

alright That book was alright.I am an avid reader,and have probably read 300 books with 200 pages or more.So,I'm very picky about what books to read.But,that book was really good.More like 4 and-a-half stars,but I can't do that.
by Ethan W 10/28/07Excellent I've just sat and read all your stories and I found them to be bloody good! I'm not sure I understood 'The Shovel' but I thoroughly enjoyed 'The Lure of the Sea', I eagerly await more of this one! 'All the Things She Said' was excellent! Keep up the good work!
by Carolyn S 10/19/07Can't knock it Superb stuff Andy. I'm not one for easily being scared (ok that's lie, I suffer from terrible paranoia after watching or reading horror) but this is great. Keep it up.
by Jonny Havron 10/2/07Really Good!@Really Good.book Amazing! I won't be able to sleep for a week! I found this by going to The Herald's book, Collection of Fear. This profile and that profile are so close in horror that you'd think the same person could be writing them.
by NicTei 9/27/07Keep on scaring people! I mean...writing!

If you can find the time to read these, then please do. I can't remember the URL to 'Hunters', but it will most likely be on one of the other book's profile.
