They don't mess about when you pay.

After only three days Kongomato is available on paperback as well as Kindle. I've just about given up selling anything on CreateSpace's main page but it's there on Amazon.

   Once more, not for the faint of heart but a horror with just the right amount of needlessly spilt blood and the occasional profanity. Well actually, quite a lot of profanity. I found it quite difficult to stop with the blood-letting once I'd got the hang of it. So I just let my fevered imagination do it's stuff for the first draft; then realising that there couldn't be three hundred pages of gore with no actual story, I trimmed it a bit - a lot.





This was the original book cover. The alert amongst you would instantly realise that there couldn't be that many monster like that  in Africa, or London. But then the story was a bit different than the one that finally emerged.



Then I was going to use this one. It was just a bit too vague and not the least horrifying. So I thought to hell with finesse, and the one on my blog is the final version




   I might return to another horror one day if people ask me. A guilty little pleasure I'll keep hidden for a few years.

    Thank you all. The others were never good enough.
    Book four now and I've barely begun. I have twenty years of manuscripts that have been fighting to be released.

    Hi Roger, is it available on Amazon.co.uk? I just tried to order a copy but would rather not pay shipping charges from the US. Thanks, Barbara.

      It certainly is. I apologise for the price but in order for Amazon to stock it I had to charge a bit more and it wouldn't let me charge less.
      If you buy it, I hope you enjoy it and are suitably disgusted by the horror bits.

      Thanks Roger, I've just ordered a copy via Amazon.co.uk. I might have to put my hands over my eyes during the horror bits!!!

      Ooohh, good. Tell me if it's over the top. I believe that I really diluted the horror parts. Even so my wife called me a maniac.
      I hope you think it's worth the money. I tried very hard to make the story, sort of believable.

    Good for you. I hope you enjoy it. Sadly I know three men who were even worse than the three thugs at the beginning of this one.
