In Episode 97 of the Weird Tales Radio Show we have a major interview with Irish film-maker Jason Figgis talking about the movies and documentaries he has made, along with what fascinates him about horror movies and the supernatural. We also discuss his work with the photographer Simon Marsden and cult horror movie-maker Norman J. Warren.

We also have the cautionary tale of Hannah Beswick, the 18th century woman who inadvertently became the "Manchester Mummy". She was worried about being buried alive so asked her local GP to not put her underground until he was certain she was really dead. So he had her stuffed and kept her in an old clock case – she wasn't finally buried until 110 years after her death

In Episode 96 of the Weird Tales Radio Show we have a major interview with New Jersey-based Nancy du Tertre who describes herself as the “skeptical psychic”. We discuss next generation remote viewing - or psychic spying. Plus her various UFO/ET contact experiences which led her to write a book using comparative linguistic analysis to examine spoken, written and telepathic extraterrestrial communications. We also hear about her ten years apprenticed to a well known psychic detective and working with law enforcement on missing persons/homicide cases. And, Nancy talks about her recent visit to Russia for two week training in psychokinesis, which she describes as both weird and traumatic.

Here are the latest Amazon reviews...

5.0 out of 5 stars - Great story and I enjoyed reading it by Darnell Reid - 9 January 2020

It a great story and I enjoyed reading it. You can write a lot of stories from what you learn from this book. I would love to recommended it to some people. Thanks for writing the book. I hope other people like it like I did. There is never too much books on this subject.

4.0 out of 5 stars -Good Read by Miss HJ Percival - 7 January 2020

A good,concise, no nonsense book offering tried and tested rules of fiction writing. The title was slightly misleading as I assumed this to be a book about only setting, but in actual fact it goes into depth on plot, characterisation, staying authentic to your story and much more. I would definitely recommend this book to the novice and enduring creative writer alike.

4.0 out of 5 stars - Rules are meant to be broken by CC - 9 December 2019
