Okay, I'm game. :)

The name I write under is CharminglyShallow. I live in a small seaside town in England, which like most small places is boring on the surface, until you begin to scratch away at the scab of normality stretched thinly across it and find the festering pus of corruption and horror beneath, now oozing out and infecting your thoughts with the sick realisation of what lay barely contained, and is now loose upon your mind to rob you of your ease.

...ahem...maybe I should start again...

My writing name is CharminglyShallow. I live in England, and have occasional delusions of creative ability. My influences in the area of horror writing I would guess are Stephen King, H.P Lovecraft, R.W. Chambers and Edgar Allen Poe. My nightmares as a child though are directly the fault of Hammer Horror films and as a young teen the works of Romero and Cronenburg. Whilst I find horror in monster stories as much fun as the next guy, when it comes to writing, my terror seems to sit in the 'What Ifs', or even the mundane. Sometimes, as 'The Twilight Zone' and other sources helpfully pointed out, we are our own worst monsters.

I would like to put forward the following stories then:
