Cunterbury, Bastards, and Tumours!
The Cunterbury Tales - Full Details!
Are you ready for the most offensive pilgrimage ever? Welcome to The Cunterbury Tales.
Featuring 24 pieces, The Cunterbury Tales follows some of the world’s worst pilgrims on their journey to venerate the withered spleen of Saint Augustine. Combing verse and prose, this book will be enough to make Chaucer rise from the dead and pluck the eyes from his head.
STRICTLY LIMITED EDITION
There will only be 69 copies of this limited edition paperback, and each one will be numbered and signed (and no doubt violated with a crude drawing). There will never be any reprints. There will never be any alternative printed versions. This is it: 69 paperbacks printed, 69 paperbacks sold, end of fucking subject.
The book will be available at the Canterbury Book Con on March 29, 2025. It will be priced at a minimum of £6.00 (US$8.00). Why a minimum? Because you can pay more if you like. I really hope you do, because every single penny of profit goes to the Lingen Davies Cancer Fund, which is the charity that funds the oncology centre where I had my treatment, and where Mrs C is currently being treated.
WANT A COPY, BUT NOT GOING TO CANTERBURY?
Not going to be at Canterbury? There is another option. A waiting list has been set up for people to purchase any remaining copies. This will be priced as above (you know you’ll want to pay more because you hate cancer), plus P&P.
If you register using the link below and there are copies left, you will be emailed with an offer. If your circumstances have changed and you don’t wish to buy a copy, simply decline the offer. There’s no cost for going on the waiting list, no obligation to buy, and no need to pay anything until the books are offered and you intend to proceed.
WANT COPY 69 OF 69?
Of course you do! However, copy 69 will not be available for general sale. The object of the exercise is to raise money for Lingen Davies Cancer Fund, so copy 69 will be sold to the highest bidder. They’ll also receive a bundle of goodies, including some genuine one-offs which won’t be available elsewhere!
CURRENT HIGH BID: US$75:00 (£61:00)
TUMOUR HUMOUR!
Cancer affects the lives of so many people. Approximately 1 in 2 people will develop some type of cancer in their lifetime.
Recently, I was joined by leading authors, R.J. Benetti and Kevin Sweeney, in a Facebook Live Chat, delivering a no-holds barred discussion about our personal journeys with cancer. The event, hosted by Trish Wilson, was intended to raise awareness of the disease, and to raise money for the Lingen Davies Cancer Fund.
Cancer charities can’t eradicate cancer, but they do make things easier for those who are going through it, and the families who support them.
So, if you haven’t do so, you can watch the chat, and, if possible, spare a little for the charity as well.
NOTE: Trish Wilson at Indie Horror Chapter has put up a limited edition copy (number 100 of 100) of Echoes of Home by ML Rayner as a raffle prize. If you donate, for every £1 or $1 given, a raffle ticket will be issued. Send a screenshot of your donation to Rachel Gregory, and she’ll send you a pic of your tickets.
The draw will take place at Chapter 2: Canterbury Horror Tales and on Facebook Live!
Thank you!
THE BALLAD OF SEVEN BASTARDS
Scheduled for release in April 2025, A Ballad of Seven Bastards is a dark and twisted Western novel which is based in the mining town of Copper Creek. Not only is the town the seat-of-power of Elder Munroe and his plan to implement a New Jerusalem, but it is also inhabited by some of the most self-serving bastards to walk the face of the earth!
When Elijah Black, a well-meaning outsider, arrives in town, he sparks off a series of events which shatters the last threads of goodwill amongst the locals, and has the potential to destroy the lives of many.
Brutal, offensive and dark as pitch, A Ballad of Seven Bastards has violent retribution dripping from its pages!
DETAILS OF PRE-ORDERS COMING SOON!
How can anyone resist this? I’m in.
