The kids are alright...aren't they? Something weird is happening in the Happy Woodland Nursery - the delightful middle class preschool setting for the delightful middle class children in the delightful middle class town of Kingsworth. Spots have appeared on all of the young folk in the Badger Sett room and the staff can't work out what's caused them. For the most part, the little boys and girls seem fine. But then, naptime rolls around and things change. Delve into this twisted tale from author Dave Musson, then stick around ten more afterwards - there's creepy dolls, unwelcome visitors, evil spirits and a few bad dreams too. “The stories are short in size, but pack a huge punch in the shock and fear factor, making both collections a fun, captivating read, guaranteed to leave the reader with at least one story that will stay with them long after they’ve finished it…Musson has zoned in everyday fears with both volumes, fears the reader may not realize even existed. His writing is brilliant. Smooth, concise and descriptive, his words perfectly capturing the world he has crafted for his reader. His stories are horrific, scary and every uncomfortable emotion in between, yet engrossing and all too unforgettable.” Belinda Brady, reviewing for THE HORROR TREE

Nurse? Nurse?? The last place the man in the otherwise empty ward wanted to be on a stifling summer's day was in hospital, but he'd passed out at work and didn't really have a choice. Still, at least he was feeling better now. Well, kind of... No-one seemed to be responding when he pushed the call button - probably no-one could hear the button over the white noise that screeched every time he tried. And just what was going on with the colours in the room beyond the curtain pulled around his bed? They weren't normal. Good job he had his anchor to tie him to the real world...whatever that is. Join Dave Musson for a weird trip to a weird hospital, then stick around for 10 more tiny tales of terror featuring creepy balloons, creepy vending machines, creepy answerphones, and horses...that are creepy. "Dave Musson gives us some of his most compelling work in Tiny Tales of Terror Volume 2 - Anchor and Other Stories. In this collection of microfiction, Musson presents readers with stories that are deliciously horrifying and often left satisfyingly ambiguous. Each story is an indulgence to be savored slowly, like a glass of your favorite wine. Musson is one of the best new voices in the indie horror world; his work is not to be missed."

Before the longest day, one hell of a night... The five friends behind the Cultcha Vultchas blog were always on the lookout for a brand experience to write about. However, they'd probably never expected one of those excursions to involve spending the night with a bunch of boomers waiting to worship the arrival of the sun. And yet, that's exactly what they found themselves doing the night before the summer solstice. The young folk had travelled to a car park on the edge of some woods ready to experience Litha - the name given to the Wiccan Sabbat celebrated at the summer solstice, the longest day and shortest night of the year and, in some traditions, a time for battle between light and dark. They didn't know exactly what was in store for them, but that's all part of the fun...isn't it? Take Dave Musson's hand once more as he walks you through a path of more Tiny Tales of Terror. If you manage to make it to sunrise, stick around for short, sharp stabs of bugs, mobsters, monsters, and even a dodgy politician. Scary stuff! “Musson writes with startling clarity, allowing the terror in his prose to come into horrifying view. This collection is full of focused fear; brace yourself and feast your eyes.” Michael R Goodwin, author of SMOLDER and HOW GOOD IT FEELS TO BURN

Best horror release of 2024 (Bookstagram Awards) | Best collection of 2024 (Bookstagram Awards) | Author of the year 2024 (Bookstagram Awards) ----- Welcome to Kingsworth, why not stay a while? The sleepy Warwickshire town of Kingsworth in the middle of England is, without doubt, a nice place to visit. There’s a castle, great schools, and lots of green space to enjoy. But, like most nice places to visit, if you scratch the surface, you’ll find something a little darker. You know the kind of thing; unsettling stories that locals love to tell outsiders with the sole purpose of getting under their skin. Kingsworth is no different…there’s plenty to discover among its streets and homes that the local tourist board wouldn’t want you to hear about. Whether it’s the mystery of the supernatural podcaster who vanished without a trace, the tragic tale of the local girl who got lost in the woods one Halloween, or the horrible fate that was waiting for a widow who just wanted to visit her husband’s grave, there’s more to Kingsworth than meets the eye. Oh, and what exactly happened to all those preschoolers that chilly afternoon? Come along to Kingsworth and find out for yourself. In fact, why not spend a year here? There’s lots for you to uncover, a story for every month of the year in act, so join your tour guide Dave Musson and go Once More Round the Sun with him. *** “Musson’s collection is quick to read, hard to put down, and will live rent-free in your head once you’ve finished it. Once More Round the Sun isn’t just good, it’s damned right compelling.” Caitlin Marceau, award-winning author of This Is Where We Talk Things Out *** “You may know him for his love of all things Stephen King, but goddamn, don’t sleep on Dave Musson the writer. Once More Round the Sun is a deft card trick of a collection, flitting from horror to heart-felt to humour and back again. His voice sings, blinds with its brilliance, then stabs. Consider me a fan.” Spencer Hamilton, author of The Fear and Welcome to Smileyland *** "Genuinely unsettling weird Albion folk horror delivered with a fiendish twinkle in the eye" Garth Jones, author of Home Brewed, Vampire Bullets *** "In a flurry of stories, Musson manages to mix beauty with brutality, love with lust, heartfelt connection with horrific catastrophe, and gentleness with gore. Stephen King would blush to know the dark creativity his writing has inspired. Horror lovers, take notice, Once More Round the Sun is a collection that should not be slept on…and it just might keep you turning the pages well after bedtime." Thomas Gloom, author of the Stories With Horror & Heart series

For those who know me by my other work, this is…different. I have been writing poetry since I was 11—the truest and most effective form of therapy I’ve ever experienced. These are a few of the countless poems I’ve written over the past 28 years. The following collection of verses all relate to death and mourning loss. They were written between 2004-2024 and are divided thematically, not by date. This is my word art—my paintings in letters, and I do not subscribe to one brand alone. I dabble in realism, impressionism, and the abstract. I hope you enjoy this journey into my tangled mind…
