Boo Books is a small, independent press in Derby, England, who specialise in publishing the work of emerging, talented writiers from the East and West Midlands.
They specialise in stories of a speculative nature, ranging from science fiction, to horror, which is where some of the five stories in Haunted fit.
The five stories within theor so pages of Haunted run the gamut of place, emotion, and human experience, We have the prewar team of Morris Dancers in Paul Melhuishs The Snap End Morris Men, who make their presence apparent in the music of disembodied accordions, fiddles, and the smack of stick on stick, but promise no harm.
Amanda Biglers Cloven offers something completely different, with a journalist jealous of the career of someone younger, and newer than he is, pursuing the same crime, until it becomes apparent that it is something more horrific and closer to home than they thought.
Turning the Cup by M, R Crosby is a fine story, Set at Christmas, as a lot of good Ghost stories are, it focuses on a fraudulent fortune teller, who offered comfort to the living, but attracts the attention of the dead, until in the final telling it is revealed that she
too will soon join them.
Michael Brackens Little Spring is a love story that crosses the widest divide of all, Set in America, it follows lovelorn Shelby Paulson, who finds her perfect home and lover after her marriage ends, Unfortunately her new partner is already late,
The closing story Kevlin Henneys Promises you Can Keep follows the same trajectory of The Sixth Sense, The central character, calls on a house to fix the Washing Machine,only to learn that he cannot be seen by the adults in the house.
This is a fine collection of stories by a cast of talented writers, and although there is nothing really horrific in the book, the stories can certainly set an atmosphere.

During spring, Greyhart Press released a couple of Pauls short stories as e books Fearworld and Necroforms, and followed this up in July with Babel, a short story that introduces the Skyfire space opera/ horror universe.
In the Skyfire Saga, Paul deploys his unique blend of darkly cynical humor, and shambolic anti heroes that somehow manage sometimes to triumph against the odds.
Underneath the hellish set pieces, the page turning plots, and the filthy Skyfirean vernacular, there lies a rich spiritual vein that underpins Pauls writing.
Any similarities between Pauls anti heroes and himself are purely coincidental, The first Skyfirean novel, Terminus, will be released by Greyhart Press in fall, sitelink.
