Praise for City of the Undead "The author has a real knack for keeping to video game story logic. The relentless enemies; finding bullets in random places; boss fights; over-the-top action; zombified animals (the description of the vile feral monkey was terrifying!) - this book has it all!" "If you are looking for a quick read with plenty of action and countless fun references to the heyday of survival horror games, this is a great little book." City of the Undead is a love letter to the survival horror video game genre of the late 90s and early 2000s.

"Kowabana: 'True' Japanese scary stories from around the internet" is a collection of anonymous horror tales collected and translated from the occult forum on the Japanese website '2chan' and originally published on my website Kowabana.net. Presented as true stories that really happened to the author these are tales of Japanese ghosts, murder, suicide, revenge, cursed objects and other strange happenings. These are comparable to the Western phenomenon of the 'creepypasta' but with a Japanese twist. In this book you'll find 111 translated stories set across Japan. From the rice fields of the countryside to cramped apartments in big cities, public toilets and old abandoned buildings, shrines in the middle of nowhere and crowded trains full of perhaps not just people, here you'll find horror unique to Japan and in a way only they know how to do.
