[Snowman?](http://magenta.monsters.wigglypets.co.uk/?p=99) is a story based on an idea that struck me whilst building a snowman with my child on what had been a mill pond. I find ideas like this, ones based slightly in reality – at least to me, tend to have the most power!
[The Christmas Globe](http://magenta.monsters.wigglypets.co.uk/?p=85) this is another one of my Flash Fictions – for those who don’t know flash fiction is under 1000 words. I like this story as I think it has some good imagery in it.
Well the first week is over and the second week has begun and how far am I into writing? I haven’t actually started writing anything yet :/ but I have got the basic concept – it involves computes but I think is very dark in a Po type of way – or can be depending […]
[Deamons](http://magenta.monsters.wigglypets.co.uk/?p=33) this is another flash fiction which has since been published in the BOFF anthology. It is based on a story concept I came up with at 13 which one day I hope will result in a novel probably for GothNoWriMo.

I love horror movies and films – but alot of what I like would not really be gothic as such. I don’t actually tend to go for blood and guts – at least not as the main focus of the piece of fiction. Of course I love authors like Stephen King and Ann Rice, James […]
I’m never entirely sure what counts as gothic but I do have a think for old horror movies with vampires and castles and Po’s works are always haunting. I pick up ideas from these pieces of fiction along with things like my visit to Bruge with its ginger bread architecture and churches decorated down to […]
Due to finishing off a novel/previous work in progress I am only going to aim for the 20, 000 word goal for this month. This may or may not be the whole story as I am still working out the story line 😉 I will be aiming for my standard 1000 words a day though […]
Hello! And welcome – I am Black Monster and a special type of story telling monster.
