Yes, I reckon Three towns forum could certainly solve quite a lot,

I've got a couple of shovels but not a lot of energy!!

It can't be for the Councillors Norman because where there is no sense there is no feeling!

Anyone know what incident happened in pwllychrochan woods?  Plod has knocked advising not to go in the woods alone as there had been a one off incident last night, no cause for alarm but be vigilant.  Right some details may be helpful to stop the mind going into overdrive!

It was bad on the seafront earlier and I can see that the tide is still high in Rhos on Sea.   Thank goodness for the breakwater there.

If anyone got a Kindle off Santa there's a free e-book currently available from Amazon called "The House In Wales" by Richard Rhys Jones.

"Product Description

From the flames of Man, straight to the flames of Hell.

Recently orphaned by the bombing of Liverpool at the start of World War Two, Danny Kelly is evacuated to the relative safety of Colwyn Bay, unaware of the evil that awaits him there.

Once there, he is cast into the oppressive realm of Satan and his acolytes, a world of escalating human sacrifice and voracious desires, lorded over by a village priest and his seemingly prim housekeeper.

Will Danny, isolated, inexperienced and vulnerable, survive where so many others have recently succumbed?

Or will there be another victim claimed by ‘The House in Wales’?

I read it a couple of months back. Please be warned that, although it starts off ok, there are some very adult themes later in the book that some people might not like at all.  &shake&

Finished the book last night. The 'adult themes' didn't bother me, but I can imagine some people being horrified, as Dave R suggested.
Fat Andy-- have you tried Richard Laymon, John Saul and Graham Masterton? If you enjoyed The House in Wales these authors will be just your cup of tea. If you can still stomach one that is having read some of the above !! :o ;D

Funland by Richard Laymon is one of my horror favourites.

CAIS have done a good job of converting the former Judge & Jury in Station Road into Porters Coffee Shop & Bistro. The building was originally the Municipal Building for Colwyn Bay back in the 1890s, and housed a bank, town hall, police station, court and cells!

Graham Masterton seems to have moved onto crime novels set in Ireland which I don't think are as good as his earlier horror works. Still OK though.

Pity he died so young.

Have you read 'Beast House'?

I agree about Graham Masterton-- I prefer his earlier horror novels. I am a bit the same with Steven King. I re-read Pet Cemetery and Christine earlier this year. Christine spooks me out !!!
