P lanet: Theta 295 ‘Fort Haven’ Research Outpost The planet which had been designated Theta 295 was on the outer reaches of the galaxy in a region that was newly discovered over seven years ago, it took four years to build the research outpost which was named ‘Fort Haven’. The outpost was placed there to study the planet and learn everything they could about it they even set up a massive drilling platform to mine the deep into the ground for ore and rock samples. Oliver Cartwright was Fort Haven’s director he stood on one of the viewing platforms looking out to the massive circular hole that had been carved out of the ground going down over a mile into illuminated darkness, around the circumference of the quarry vehicles and diggers worked tirelessly along with the workers scurrying around like ants. Cartwright turned his gaze up to the drilling platform, several long square columns held up the round platform where the drill operators worked high above the quarry, it also acted as prot...

Planet: Earth New Orleans, Louisiana United States of America Inspector Legrasse was at the station standing in front of the task force that he had assembled for the mission that lay ahead he spoke firmly “Right for those that may not know the situation, we have been receiving numerous reports over the last several weeks of women and children that have gone missing from numerous families in the bayou area outside the city, these families and other locals have stated that they have been hearing voices chanting deep from the swamp” he gestured to the map then looked back to the team “Other the course of this investigation bodies have been discovered all of them severely mutilated” the images appeared on a holographic display several of the officers recoiled slightly, one of them spoke “Holy Christ! Who would fucking do such a thing?” Legrasse replied “Early investigations had us believe we had a serial killer on the loose, but the sheer number now that have been found dead and those that...

 My weary travellers and Firelight Wanderers. Sorry that it's been so long that I have released a post on here but there was a reason, instead of the usually posting of a story as it is completed this apart the ongoing TITANS stories is the first complete series that I've done however this time I wanted to wait until it was all completed before publishing the chapters, which will be on a monthly basis. Before that, I just want to say a few words behind the inspiration for the story: I love horror stories everything from ghosts to werewolves, there are some people who think it’s weird that I love getting creeped out but it’s high I roll. But one particular type of horror that I really enjoy is the writing from the master of mind-bending macabre Mr H.P. Lovecraft, although I wouldn’t say they are terrifying stories I feel that the horror he depicts is that of losing ones grip on reality from witnessing creatures so impossible that the mind cannot comprehend them, there is also th...

CHAPTER ONE PART ONE The Thing in the Rain THE AWAKENING THE BUNKER The corridors were covered in moss and mildew from the constant dripping water, the pipes overhead were rusted and corroded the group of surveyors wandered around treading carefully one of the group Tom shone his torch at the pipes above “This place looks like a death trap” the team leader Carl kept his eyes on the ground to avoid tripping over any debris “Well if anything happens the guys outside will come in to get us out” the third man Eric ran his fingers along the damp walls feeling the rough surface of the brickwork he looked down the hallway which was a void of pure black even the torchlight couldn’t penetrate it “Jesus how far do these corridors go down?” Carl spoke “From the history of the site the bunker runs for about a mile but before it this was a massive labyrinth of caverns previous surveyors have recorded some of the caves passages running more miles and go as far as 150ft down” Tom gritted his ...

So my Firelight Wanderers, I currently working on the next instalment in the Handbridge Horror series, which is titled THE GRINNING MAN there is a preview in a previous blog post . This is going to be my most terrifying Handbridge tale so far, I wanted to have a creature that was truly horrific, something that you couldn’t escape from, a being that would haunt the characters physically and mentally and it would delight in doing it. If this story goes well I have plans to turn this story into 4 separate parts, although one of them has a scene that actually unnerved me as I wrote it but it really gives a tone of horror that the Grinning Man will unleash. Prepare your minds Firelight Wanderers for he is coming.

The year is 2295 and the world is just as chaotic, with the ever-lurking threat of terrorism and government corruption there are few who help in maintaining balance. In 2281 Shakir Salameh a member of the Egyptian government survived a bombing at the Maglis El Shura, in the wake of the carnage he took his fortune and began a secret organisation called Karnak named after the ancient ruin in Luxor, this organisation is a selection of specialised operatives who work separated from any world government and take on missions in other countries were jurisdiction prevents other governments or their officials from doing their jobs and to do the dirty work that governments can’t perform. The agents of Karnak are named after several Gods based on Ancient Egyptian mythology.
