GET IT NOW
I’ve been asked a few times if The Sussex Fretsaw Massacre would have a print release; now it does, but included with it are several short stories that have been Ko-Fi-member exclusives since 2023.
(You should join the membership at Eldritch Seeker tier or above if you want more like this).
What’s Included?
- “Gerald” – originally in the anniversary hardback edition of The Crows, this short story is now the opening story of The Sussex Fretsaw Massacre & Other Stories, and features Ricky meeting Myrddin for the first time, and Gerald getting his name.
- “Poison” – written for Ko-Fi members in 2023, this story marks Ricky’s first solo kill on his 14th birthday, and the beginning of his drug-and-alcohol-fuelled descent into adolescence.
- “June” – written for Ko-Fi members in 2023, a slice-of-life short on one of Katy’s birthdays that kicks off the brief and ill-fated Wes/Ricky relationship.
- “First” – written for Ko-Fi members in 2023, this short is Ricky/Wes and their first intimate/erotic moment (on page). CWs for: dub con/questioning asexual teen + allosexual bi/pan (unlabelled) teen.
- “Crush” – written for Ko-Fi members in 2023, this is a short story from Wes’s POV, charting the development of his complex feelings for Ricky, from childhood animosity/jealousy through to his teenage crush.
- “Conflict” – written for Ko-Fi members in 2023, this is the end of the road for Wes/Ricky, or so they both think.
- “Love Song for The Crows” – written in 2021 for Monstrous May, supporter-only Ko-Fi content, no membership required for access. This is from The Crows/Fairwood House’s POV, from its ruined state through to Carrie’s first steps into its entrance hall, with glimpses of Ricky from that point of view.
- The Sussex Fretsaw Massacre – novella still available to buy as a standalone eBook.
- The collection also features a full page illustration by Thomas S. Brown, which was originally included in the original edition of The Crows prior to its 2024 re-release by Canelo.
If you buy the eBook direct from me for £5.99, you’ll also get the mp3 files for The Sussex Fretsaw Massacre, as aired in a 3-part mini series on my podcast, Eldritch Girl.
