Hello, my Freaky Darlings! Greetings from a warm and sunny South Africa. We’re celebrating Heritage Day today and get to have an extra-long weekend.

Driving Through Corruption: Navigating South Africa's Dangerous Roads in a Broken System
Hello, my Freaky Darlings! When everything is broken, is it inevitable that everyone becomes a criminal? While driving to the day job on Thursday morning and avoiding another moron doing something stupid on the highway, I started thinking about why South Africa’s roads were considered the most dangerous in the world. It’s a sad truth that over 14,000 people die on our roads every year. And it’s…

Decoding Darkness: Choosing the New Book Title and Exploring the Bridget Cleary Connection

Another week has come and gone, and as usual, I’m faced with the Herculean task of picking the choicest nuggets of lunacy to share with you.

Chilling Tales Await: Unmasking Serial Killers, Haunting Legends, and Spine-Tingling Deals!
Hello, my Freaky Darlings! Greetings from the rather chilly arse-end of Africa. South Africa actually got some good news for a change this week. Putin will not be descending on our country in August.

Intrigue and Nightmares Await: A Bone-Chilling Novel Excerpt, Bewildering MH370 Mystery, and Free Doses of Darkness!
Hello, my Freaky Darlings! Greetings from the arse-end of Africa. It’s been an interesting week peppered with no electricity across large portions of the city because some criminal bastard decided to vandalise a sub-station, steal copper wire and kill the poor underpaid security guard who was just trying to earn a living. And then we had no water for over 24 hrs. Fun and games! But I did get to…

Hello, my Freaky Darlings! Greetings from the arse end of Africa. It’s been a weird week on this side of the planet, especially on the weather front. We’ve had floods, arctic winds, and tornadoes that weren’t actual tornadoes, according to scientists, but were something called a landspout, which actually wasn’t that different from a tornado. And a whole bunch of people I know have gotten swine…
