Schlock Horror by Michael Forte

The original Executive Producer of Grizzly Tales has published an adult horror/thriller.

Michael Forte's book, Schlock Horror, features the staid, conventional and risk averse Andy Silver, and Mel Bowen: a wild child from Swansea, in London to pursue her ambition to become an actress (soap star). 

This unlikely couple soon become caught between killer hit-men and the police.

As the net closes Mel is kidnapped and Andy enlists the help of two ex army Afghanistan veterans. A bleak stretch of coast outside Blakeney sees the story reach its bloody climax.

You can find the Kindle edition of Schlock Horror HERE.

Tube Mice Remembered

The blog site, London Particulars, has an article comparing Honeycomb Animation's Tube Mice from 1988, with two modern day series for Cbeebies, Rastamouse and Underground Ernie.


"Those who do remember it tend to recall it as some sort of children’s version ofMinder – not entirely unreasonable, as George Cole basically reprises his Arthur Daly role as the teddy-boy mouse Vernon and Dennis Waterman plays his sidekick, a punk mouse named Toaster.  The series, as the name implies, was about the adventures of the mice who live on the London Underground. The protagonists were Bubble, a lifelong Londoner (seen right – the aforementioned Rastafarian mouse) and Squeak, a country mouse newly arrived in the city. Vernon and Toaster might be allies or antagonists, depending on the demands of the story. Other characters included mouse equivalents of various London types, including a bohemian artist and an MP (affiliation unknown)."
