Winter gifts from Eldritch Black & not a lump of coal in sight!

November 13, 2016 By MrBlack Leave a Comment

Winter gifts from Eldritch Black & not a lump of coal in sight!

It’s been a long time since I last posted to the Occasional Blog, which given its name, seems fitting. The eagle-eyed among you might have spotted the odd Instagram inspired post, like this one, but as for book news, there’s been nothing much since my last update.

My silence has mostly been down to the fact I’ve been busy writing not one, but two new works. The first, The Night of the Christmas Letter Getters is a short story about a dark winter’s evening, a dastardly plan, and elves and trolls and a secret Post Office.
Here’s the cover:

Cover for The Night of the Christmas Letter Getters

And here’s the blurb:

The Night of the Christmas Letter Getters is here…

It’s the most magical time of the year again. The snow is falling, the evenings are drawing in, the secret Post Office is open for business and the Christmas Letter Getters are out in force. Among them is Finley Stark, a small elf with big problems. He doesn’t know it yet, but there’s sinister forces at play.

Soon Finley finds himself being chased through the snowy Yuletide streets of a strange old city, pursued by trolls with dark, fiendish plans.
And candy in the oddest flavors…

The Night of the Christmas Letter Getters by Eldritch Black is a darkly whimsical tale of Elves, Trolls and festive frights.

As of the time of writing, The Night of the Christmas Letter Getters should be available everywhere. And you can get it for the price of nothing on iTunes, Kobo, and all other online booksy type places.
It’s live on Amazon too & I’ve asked them to make it free, but for now it’s a whole 99 cents. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

So there you have it, a free early Christmas present from Eldritch Black. And because there’s a super moon coming, and it might be blue (if you squint), I’ll have another blog post tomorrow about my brand new novel Krampus and The Thief of Christmas which is coming this week…

Press the golden button!

Follow Eldritch Black on Amazon

You may or may not have noticed the golden yellow ‘Follow’ button on Amazon Author pages. It’s been there for awhile, and as far as I’m aware, it’s never worked. I say this, because I clicked, pressed and prodded it with a long stick, and nothing happened…
Or did it?
Perhaps it did. Maybe each time I pushed it, some poor soul lost a tooth. Or a penguin slapped a toad. Or a witch lost her hat. But whatever happened, one thing was for sure – I never received updates from my favourite authors.
Until today. Because I’m told, the Amazon follow button is now fully operational.
Hurrah!

So if you enjoy my work, please go and push the golden yellow Follow button right away, and receive updates from Amazon each time I release new short stories and books. Which will be soon, for new things are coming. Including a terrifying lost tale from The Book of Kindly Deaths, among other ghastly delights.
So go and push the golden button, make a wish, cross your fingers and see what happens…

Once in a Blue Moon…

An Owl in Black and White

I’m calling this the occasional blog because it will be very occasional.
If you espy a blue moon, then there’s a chance a blog post might be waiting here.

The purpose of the occasional blog is to share, from time to time, updates concerning the strange and bizarre occurrences that have been known to take place when I write my stories.
And sometimes, the strange and bizarre occurrences that take place inside my stories.
And sometimes, about the writing of strange and bizarre stories.

On these blue moons, I shall share pictures like the one above. Which was the very owl I discovered staring at me through a window as I wrote a story including a rather unpleasant, skull-faced owl.
Creepy…
Always.
