Spider
A couple of weeks ago That's Life magazine of Australia published my supernatural tale The Curse of the Spider Men.
Everyone who's seen the story has commented on the warning sign attached to the beginning of the story giving readers a heads-up that the story's about spiders - just in case the title wasn't explicit enough.
Anyhow, with arachnophobes warned (if there is any such word as 'arachnophobe'), the tale went on to tell a story of corporate greed and supernatural retribution.
What I liked most about writing this tale is that as far as I know the supernatural scenario I incorporated in my story is completely unique, though of course the outcome of the yarn was fairly predictable.
Well, you can't have everything.
That's it for this week. Next week some news about a story penned with my seven-year-old son.
Below are links to my two Global Short Story Competition winners, my short-listed story for the National newspaper, Abu Dhabi, and my Canterbury Tale published by Coscom Entertainment:
