My books are on sale (all six of them)


Just a reminder to my visitors that you can still buy my published books at Amazon. The link is here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Steven-Mace/e/B005JJLWX6

That Amazon author page contains the six books plus some of my short story magazine publications that are also linked.

I have written and published six books. There are two full length novels: Copper Moon Rising and Staccato House; three collections of short stories: Beyond Twilight, The Splendour of Shadows and Echoes and Exiles; and a YA novella, The Pirate Princess.

In terms of genre, Copper Moon Rising is a blend of SF and Fantasy. Staccato House is an psychological thriller based on the occult and some supernatural themes. It could also be categorised as 'weird fiction'. It was influenced by the film 'Eyes Wide Shut' and some occult fiction/conspiracy theories. The Pirate Princess is a YA fantasy adventure. I've been planning a sequel which has been in the works for a number of years. The short story collections are a mixture of everything: horror, fantasy, science fiction, occult & supernatural, psychological thriller, satire and urban realist fiction.

The original quartet published in 2010-2012

A Small World

About three weeks ago, I accepted an invitation from a volunteer who helps me with Italian football research to join a website called 'A Small World'. ASW is a social networking website, very similar to Facebook with one major difference - it's invitation only. Once you join, you have access to all features of the site. However, despite gaining access you don't immediately have the means to send out invitations to others. ASW say that "Trusted and loyal ASW members who meet certain criteria have the privilege of inviting a limited number of their friends." As yet, I do not have the power to invite others to join. It's the highbrow Facebook, basically. Tiger Woods is a member, along with numerous other celebrities. However there are strict controls on who you can contact and what kind of things you can post in discussion forums and the 'events' areas of the website. ASW also has this to say about itself to potential advertisers: "An inte

The Mothers of Darkness Castle

Image
Some intrepid and courageous explorers posted their visit to the infamous "Mothers of Darkness" castle on Youtube. More information about this site, which may be of interest: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chateau_des_Amerois https://fourhorsemen66.com/2018/12/16/chateau-des-amerois-mothers-of-darkness-castle-most-evil-place-in-the-world/ It's no surprise to me that a place like this would be in a sorry country like Belgium. I have personally met and had dealings with one or two extremely unpleasant people from Belgium. However, I digress. The story of this place helped inspire some of my ideas for my novel Staccato House.

Brian Lumley's Vampire World

Image
One of my favourite writers of horror fiction is an author called Brian Lumley. His stories are deeply imaginative and he evidently enjoys the frisson of describing the gruesome detail! He is very clearly inspired by H.P Lovecraft, and it's his earlier works and short stories which most clearly demonstrate his Lovecraftian influences. Although I enjoy the 'Titus Crow' series of novels, and the 'Psychomech' trilogy, the books that Lumley is probably most 'celebrated' for, if that is the right word, are his five Necroscope novels (the original series, as opposed to various prequels and sequels that he has published since), and his Vampire World trilogy, which was a series that chronologically followed those five books. I'm going to talk about 'The Vampire World' trilogy in this post mainly, but as they follow in terms of content the 'Necroscope' series, I'll briefly describe what those five books were about (SPOILERS ALERT).
