My short horror story ‘Here’s One I Made Earlier’ is available to read in Sliced Up Press’s Saturday Mourning Television anthology!

We all have fond memories of the crafting segments on kids shows, right? Watching the presenters daub paint or glue on various carboard contraptions, demonstrating how you could create your very own? We remember how they’d bring out an already completed masterpiece with a cheery “Here’s one I made earlier!” and a beaming smile?

Well, Jolly Roger veiwers don’t. All they remember is the final episode, when “Here’s one I made earlier!” led to a blood-soaked breakdown and a studio filled with the screams of traumatised children.

Saturday Mourning Television is stuffed full of tales and poetry inspired by television. My story follows a children’s TV show presenter whose horrid behaviour comes back to bite him in the ass during an art segment, leading to bloody violence and a traumtised live audience. I really enjoyed everyone else’s take on the Saturday morning kids television theme! There’s some with some very cool formats, including Tom Coombe’s ‘Episode Guide: Tymberwolves’ and ‘Notes from Standards and Practices’ by Buzz Dixon. I also recommend ‘Billy’s World’ by S. S. N. Smith and ‘Rub A Dub’ by Die Booth.

There’s lots of stuff packed into the anthology so there’s bound to be something for everyone.

The book is available in both eBook and paperback formats.
