James Everington

Biography

I'm a writer from Nottingham, England and I mainly write short stories. Most of what I write is dark, supernatural fiction, although not necessarily 'horror' in the blood and guts sense. My main influences are writers like Ramsey Campbell, Shirley Jackson, and Robert Aickman.

My latest book, 'Falling Over', is out now from Infinity Plus.

I've had stories published in magazines like Supernatural Tales, Dark Moon Digest and Morpheus Tales, and the anthologies Pulp Ink 2 and Off The Record 2.

I enjoy the unexplained, the psychological, and the ambiguous in my weird fiction, and this is the kind of story I try and write.

I drink Guinness, if anyone's offering.

Smashwords Interview

What are your five favorite books, and why?

Impossible to pick just five, but off the top of my head:

1. 'Alone With The Horrors' - Ramsey Campbell. The greatest horror short story writer of the last fifty years.
2. 'The Haunting Of Hill House' - Shirley Jackson. The best haunted house story I've ever read.
3. 'Dance Macabre' - Stephen King. His non-fiction book about horror. Had a huge impact on me...
4. 'Animal Farm' - George Orwell. I always feel so sad at the end of this one.
5. 'The Robber Bride' - Margaret Atwood. A fantastic author; this is maybe the one of hers I like best.

What is your e-reading device of choice?

The Kindle. The battery life on anything else is too short for the amount I read...

The Other Room

(5.00 from 1 review)

The Other Room is a collection of weird horror fiction, containing twelve stories of the uncanny and the surreal. Influenced by writers such as Ramsey Campbell, Shirley Jackson, and Robert Aickman these tales, like all good horror stories, are as much about the psychology of the protagonist as the fate that awaits them.
