His dark fiction has been published in a dozen anthologies and magazines to date, including, 'O, Unholy Night In Deathlehem,' (Grinning Skull Press), 'What Monsters do for Love Volume One,' (Soteria Press), and 'Deadman Humour: 13 Fears of a Clown' (Abstruse Press), among others. He has also self-published 'Ripe, and Others,' a collection of short fiction and 'Mutt,' his début novel, along with a second novel, 'Insatiable,' and a further collection, 'Little Wounds, and Other Dark Tales.' Lee lives in Sunderland UK, with his family, far too many reptiles, and a dark sense of humour. He likes to listen to loud, nasty music, watch old, nasty movies, and gloat over his EC horror comics collection from time to time.

Whilst some of the grislier set-pieces of Blatty's novel (and the film adaptation) speak for themselves, there is no denying that the real horror comes from the typical, everyday setting, along with the witnessing of the disintegration of the mother/daughter relationship. The ultimate loss of control as the child grows up...and the mother doesn't have the first clue how to deal with it.
Salem's Lot was one of my first Stephen King reads - it gave me nightmares for a week. Gothic horror, in a contemporary setting. Perfect.
I read this bumper collection of short fiction from Stephen King many years ago, and it has stayed with me ever since - a testament to King's skill at crafting stories that linger in the mind, long after the book has been set aside. Fantasy and reality blur throughout, the horror coming sometimes from the most unexpected places.
I love Clive Barker's ability to create disturbing imagery with one foot in the fantastic and the other planted squarely in urbane reality. With uniquely poetic prose, he melds together violence, sly, dark humour, and eroticism.
