Carol Weekes

Writer of horror, dark fantasy, thriller and crime fiction, as well as screenplays. I love both fiction and non-fiction, research, films, music, art, fine cooking, good beers and wines, nature, animals, anything spiritual. When you set out to write horror, it is an adventure into shadowed imagery...you take something ordinary and twist it. The sound of raindrops pattering along a windowsill might become hungry, prying fingers at the framework; a sigh of breath in a quiet room the first tickle along your neck that something is not quite right. Horror lurks beyond the palest edge of light; it is the contrast that brings our fears to the forefront, that makes us examine our own inner shadows, that causes us to question the concepts we prefer to leave in the realms of our darkest dreams. The horror writer serves you the dark lace of your fears, like spiderweb over your fingertips, bringing it close for examination. Come...explore the stories, revel in the shadows, shiver in sunshine, twist about to find the source of that cool wind trailing over your shoulder...within the pages holds much dark promise.
