Free today! 26/07/16. Now professionally edited. The Tale of Sawney Bean by Kevin J Kennedy

The legend of Sawney Bean has long been discussed and adapted into other stories. There has been discussion on which parts of the tale are fact and which parts are fiction.

This is the story from the mans mouth himself. Sawney Beans journey from a twelve year old lad into the leader of the most notorious cannibal family to ever live. He tells the tale of how he met his wife and how they ended up raising a massive inbred clan in a secluded cave not far from the very people they were killing for food.

Here Sawney's side of the story and the true facts of what actually happened. Was he a cold blooded cannibal or just another man trying to do his best for his family?

I'm back!

So I stopped using this a while ago. I'm not great at keeping an online presence as life generally takes over and I don't have enough time. I do have quite a few new stories due out though so thought it may be time for an update. So. What's coming I hear you ask? Well.........

I think the next anthology to be released, containing one of my stories is 'Burger Van and Other Short Stories.' This will be a free charity anthology containing some of the best writers in the horror genre. Michael Bray was the master mind behind this book and has managed to pull in stories from Matt Shaw, Stuart Keane, Shaun Hupp, Andrew Lennon, Matt Hickman and Duncan Ralston to name just a few. The anthology will be free and all that is asked is that you make a small donation to International Animal Rescue. There has been over £100 donated already and the book isn't even available yet. There is a link to donate below and the book should be available in June hopefully.

You can donate here.

I've also been accepted into another charity anthology that's due out on Halloween. This one will be in aid of Save the Children. It's called Madame Movara's Tales of Terror. There isn't a final table of contents for this one yet but I have heard several great authors say they have sent a story into this one.

Although I don't have the release date yet my story 'Would You Sell Your Soul' has been accepted for the 'Troll' anthology by Thirteen O'clock Press. Love the cover for this one.

I've also had stories accepted into several young adult horror anthologies as well by Sinister Saint's Press. They will be titled 'A Door Appeared' containing my story 'Worzel's Woe's' and 'In a Flash' containing a story written by my wife and I and a solo story by myself. I already have a story in their anthology 'Strange Vacation's' that just came out on Sunday. Although these books are aimed at young adults the story I have in Strange Vacation's is far from tame.

I think that's about it for now. I may be a part of Dark Chapter Press's A to Z of horror which would be amazing. My submission has been sent in for the letter Y but I will need to wait and see what they think of it. I'll keep you posted.

Submission sent to Dark Chapter Press for their upcoming antho 'Under the Knife'

Sent my story 'Family' off to Dark Chapters press today for their upcoming anthology 'Under the Knife'. I see Stuart Keane is an editor for them now. I wonder if he will end up reading my story? Fingers crossed I get in. Looking forward to reading this one either way.

Fifty Shades of Slay by Alucard Press. An anthology containing two of my stories.

Another new antho for you to pick up with two of my stories in it, The Freaks Toy and A Taste of Scotland.

I've only managed to read passed the half way point but there are some excellent stories in this book. As it says it's new names in horror so I haven't tried any of these authors yet but some of the stories have been fantastic and I'm sure you will be hearing plenty more from a few names in here.
