Beginnings

Hi,

This is just to let you know about another of my books, The Isle of the Rat.

I consider the Isle of the Rat the most interesting thing I have done. Set in the New Territories of Hong Kong in 1908 the research into period, dress, mannerisms and the society of the era taught me more about the former British colony than I thought possible. It was also published by Hong Kong Horrors in 1994.

Three friends go to an island off the eastern coast of the New Territories to set up a bird watching camp. In the night they are overcome by a vengeful spirit. Two of the die horribly and the third is found in the morning a raving lunatic.
