New from Bad Bat Books...

Ahead of news of our brand new theatre outing for 2020, Bad Bat Books are pleased to announce that we're publishing our first novel - The Future Boys by Steve Jordan - on December 16th! It's currently available to pre-order for Kindle now!

Here's some words from Steve about the novel, and what you should expect from it.

"It will tell the story of the entire Future Boys saga (except Empire of Monsters, which is definitely its own thing). I’m re-telling the three original theatre productions - Dead StaticPilgrim Shadow and King Chaos - plus the two audio episodes, and the stories of what would have been the other four episodes of the audio series - to make one glorious package."

"So it’s effectively 6 hours of script, fleshed out into a novel with some extra bits to bring it all together, comprised of essentially two mini-books – the story of the plays, and the story of the audio series. This is something I’ve thought about for a while, but as the funding for the rest of the audio series didn’t materialize, I’ve gone for what I feel is the best option to tell the stories. It would be great to do an audio book of it too with the audio series cast at some point, time allowing."

A paperback version will also be released in 2020, along with a paperback of Empire of Monsters - a previous Future Boys publication that we released in 2018.

Terror Tales.

Can't wait for your dose of horror this summer at THE PROBLEMING? Well fear not - at least, not yet ...

Steve Jordan, writer and director of THE PROBLEMING, has recently been published as part of TERROR TALES OF WALES, the latest instalment of the TERROR TALES series - a collection of regional British horror anthologies edited by best selling author Paul Finch. The series is crammed with fantastic short stories from some of Horror's biggest names and rising stars. You can buy the book now on Amazon.

Wales – ‘Land of my Fathers’, cradle of poetry, song and mythic rural splendour. But also a scene of oppression and tragedy, where angry spirits stalk castle and coal mine alike, death-knells sound amid fogbound peaks, and dragons stir in bottomless pools … 

 
The headless spectre of Kidwelly 
The sea terror off Anglesey 
The soul stealer of Porthcawl 
The blood rites at Abergavenny 
The fatal fruit of Criccieth 
The dark serpent of Bodalog 
The Christmas slaughter at Llanfabon 

 And many more chilling tales by Stephen Volk, Tim Lebbon, Simon Clark, Priya Sharma, John Llewellyn Probert and other award-winning masters and mistresses of the macabre.

We hope you enjoy it! So, have you got your tickets for THE PROBLEMING yet?
