Magazines I write for

Fangoria - the longest-running, best-selling and all-round best horror magazine on the planet, and I'm not just saying that because of the amount of paid work they've put my way...
Film Review - The UK's longest running mainstream film magazine
Neo - British magazine about anime, manga and other Asian popular culture
Psychotronic Video - hugely entertaining guide to the weird world of cult movies; I sold them a Malcolm McDowell interview a while back
Shivers - Visual Imagination's horror mag has carried a few of my articles in the past
SFX - Britain's bestselling SF/fantasy/horror mag; I served three years before the masthead and still contribute bits and bobs
Starburst - Britain's longest-running SF/fantasy magazine, for which I write the occasional review
TV Zone - another title from Visual Imagination with the occasional piece by me
Video Watchdog - simply the best movie magazine in existence, with an unparalleled quality of in-depth, knowledgeable journalism and reviewing (plus a few articles by me)
