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.

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.
