#35 in the Show-Off and tell feature finishes off the
Duncan P Bradshaw week.
It’s Hexagram.
This is one that just arrived in the post one day. I hadn’t
been asked previously to review it so it just arrived in the post one day. Don’t
get me wrong, I am certainly not complaining about that fact. I love getting
books to review from Duncan and The Sinister Horror Company and they know my
door is always open to them. It’s just an extra special surprise when it comes
through the door totally unexpected. It’s like Christmas for a ten-year-old
every time this happens to me.
The purpose of this one tonight is purely and simply, to
show you what you get when you order a book directly* from Duncan at the Sinister
Horror Company. They come to you in the normal brown box or standard jiffy bag
but it’s what’s inside that will make you feel like the most special person in
the world.
When you open the box or jiffy bag, you will be greeted by
your book, wrapped in black tissue paper with the Sinister Horror Company sticker
holding it all together.
*this is when you order directly from the SHC website, not from Amazon.

It looks like this:
Normally included with the book you will get a couple of
bookmarks. Normally a Sinister Horror Company one if it is an anthology or one
from the individual author. You might be lucky and get a couple of cards or
something else special that they are doing at the time. I have seen people get
patches for their holey jeans as well!
One other thing that you can always be assured of is that
the cover for the book you have just bought will be of the highest quality
ever. These guys know exactly how to do it when it comes to attracting your eye
and filling your brain and heart with total desire and a need to buy the book.
This is Hexagram:
Also once you get inside you will probably see a lovely
signature and, depending on whose book it is, a funny drawing of some sort.
Duncan especially has a knack for filling them with little doodles to keep you
amused.
I have only one picture of the inside of Hexagram. If I included
all of the pictures I wanted to, there would be about fifty. The fonts, the
design, the layout, it is all perfect. You can see immediately the effort that
these guys put into their books and they are a true pleasure to own.
Hexagram is
out now. You really need to buy it.

CONFESSIONS REVIEWS DUNCAN P BRADSHAW
Hexagram
One day upon waking, as if from some frightful nightmare, I sat at my laptop and typed out letters, which formed words, slowly they created sentences. People read it and said, that's okay that is, have a biscuit. And I said yes.
I live in Wiltshire, in Southern England with my wife Debbie and our two cats, Rafa and Pepe, they just miaowed a hello at you. Between bouts of prolonged washing up and bungie cord knitting, I type out the weird and wonderful things that run around my head.
My debut novel, zom-com Class Three, was released in November 2014, the first book in the follow up trilogy, Class Four: Those Who Survive is out in July 2015. I'm then going to try and get some novellas released which are on something other than the undead.
