Request for Fans of the Wheatley Occult Novels

Hello there I've been a big fan of Dennis Wheatley since I first read the Haunting of Toby Jugg at twelve, and since retiring from the Fire Service I've started to write myself. My stories are a series of supernatural thrillers, published by the American company Damnation Books, and are coloured to ...

Take a look at his Reichenbach Falls picture and imagine how he might have captured some of the Wheatley scenes. Someone like Paget would have elevate...

It isn't Wheatley, but...

Hello there I've been a Dennis Wheatley fan my entire adult life, starting at around fourteen, and always had a particular love for his supernatural works. I've also just begun to bring out a series of novels myself - paranormal mysteries - and the first of these has the very definite flavour of goo...
