Posted by Tommy | Filed under Links, Scream Street
Oh dear…
Scream Street landlord, Sir Otto Sneer, has shaken off his dislike of technology (second only to his dislike of his residents) and joined Facebook. His latest updates include rants about zombies’ feet, floating skeletons and a demand to know who gave his Hellhounds laxatives…
You can add him as a friend, follow his updates, and generally try to put up with his insults by clicking here: Sir Otto on Facebook
In fact, you’d better add him as a friend, or he’s going to get very angry indeed.
And as if that wasn’t enough – he’s also got a new Twitter account, with you can follow by visiting www.twitter.com/sirottosneer

Happy Roald Dahl Day!
Posted by Tommy | Filed under Links, Personal
13th September is Roald Dahl Day and, to celebrate, here I am discussing my favourite book from the great man…
Do yourself a favour and devour some Dahl today!
*Several eagle-eared viewers may have spotted my, er… deliberate mistake in saying that Danny’s dad vanishes every night when, of course, I meant to say “one night”. In no way was I attempting to rewrite a Roald Dahl classic…*

Scream Street Fan Art!

I found this superb piece of Scream Street fan art online over the weekend: Luke and the chihuahua from Fang of the Vampire, created by an artist who goes by the name of Marticus Productions:
I think it is FANTASTIC, and I look forward to seeing more!

Posted by Tommy | Filed under Scream Street
Heehee! Look what I’ve got! And it’s not in the shops until 5th October!
Scream Street 7: Invasion of the Normals is not only a fast-paced, action-packed romp – it’s 50% longer than the other Scream Street books, as well!
What happens after Luke, Resus and Cleo open a doorway back to the real world? Why does it result in another six tales? And has Dixon really become a street poet? Find out in the seventh spooky Scream Street adventure soon…
What a scream!
