What a bonus! The same issue of Rue Morgue also has a feature on Snuff: Real Death and Screen Media and the revised edition of  David Kereke's and David Slater's Killing for Culture.

Thanks to Dejan Ognjanovic for this excellent review of my first book!!

Hot off the press!

Copies of Snuff: Real Death and Screen Media have arrived at the New York offices of Bloomsbury Academic today!

I'm thrilled with how the book has turned out. The official publication date is 28 Jan 2016, but you can pre-order the book now.

We are launching the book at a special free event in Newcastle Upon Tyne on Friday 12 February. Details of the launch -- including how to register -- can be found over at http://snuffmovie.co.uk.

I am proud to announce that, as of today, I am officially a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy!
