The cover of ‘Paradise’ by Ben Tufnell, depicting a dense forest
'An unsettling novel of juxtapositions and surprises, Paradise moves between city and forest, bringing both to teeming, violent life. Tufnell creates landscapes that work upon us on the deepest level.'
- Aliya Whiteley,
author of The Beauty and Skyward Inn
'A powerful novel of psychogeography set between two landscapes, urban and rural, in a world palpably on the brink of collapse.
Febrile with paranoia and alienation, Paradise confronts the crucial, intimate matter of our time: how 'to be' at the end of all things.'
- Charlotte Tierney, author of The Cat Bride
'Paradise begins as an engrossing neo-noir before pivoting into something considerably stranger, in a manner that recalls a peculiar array of other works: Ben Wheatley's Kill List, Neil Jordan's The Crying Game, Michael Ende's children's novel Momo. A Kafkaeseque end-times parable of acceleration and collapse, violence and repair, it is a resonant page-turner fit for the Capitaloscene. '
- Séan Padraic Birnie, author of I Would
Haunt You If I Could

New review of The Cat Bride in the Fortean Times!
“The novel is often claustrophobic, but it keeps you turning the pages.” In Charlotte Tierney’s The Cat Bride, a “tynx” roams the moors—or is it all “folklore-fuelled delusions”? A haunting tale of unreliable memories.

when I was a child (eighties) there was a spate (perhaps just a single instance, but it looms LARGE) of tropical spiders appearing in supermarket banana boxes leading to a fear of … supermarket banana boxes.

A picture I drew of a spider on his favourite armchair with the remote and a drink to represent my short story WHO KILLS A SPIDER
Any voting members of the HWA who wishes to read my domestic thriller WHO KILLS A SPIDER to consider it for the Bram Stoker Award for short fic, can message me!
You will be amazed to hear I actually created this astonishing original artwork myself and it took me many, many seconds.
