This is a blog that concentrates on the influences and writing of two aspiring author friends called Thadeus Morticaine and Dan Coghlan. They have been friends for many years and found that they have a common interest in what they write, even though they write different things.

Thadeus Morticaine is working on a series of Folk horror stories, fantasy stories, some ghost stories and some sci-fi. He likes HP Lovecraft, Gareth L Powell, Robert Rankin and Kim Newman. He is also very much into his folktales and Celtic and Norse myths and legends.

Dan Coghlan is currently working on a Sword and Sorcery series about a Wood Elf Barbarian, and also a pulp fiction style series of Post-Apocalyptic stories. He likes Robert E Howard and Steve Dilks, as well as Lin Carter and Clarke Ashton Smith.

Thadeus Morticaine's way with words induces the insubordinate in obedient folk, grasping attention from the mystery evoking paradigm that leaves you with no choice but to deduce and decipher where the story will bitterly conclude. Upon reading and completing, the writer exudes the quality of H.P. Lovecraft and Edgar Allen Poe, calmly sharing a friendly drink with the reverend Robert Rankin in a bar of distilled magic realism... situated next to a funeral parlour.
