About Me

MyGen Profile Generator
Who is Garry Charles?
Some say I'm a decent writer of horror - I prefer Dark Fantasy - others say I am twisted mind, whilst the remainder sneer upon me as a showman....
I like to think of myself as a guy who just happens to enjoy telling stories...Yes, they are usually of a dark nature and laced with violence and bad language, but at the end of the day they are only stories.
I hope I am allowed to keep doing what I do and I hope that more and more people discover what I do and enjoy entering the worlds I create.
Welcome to this place I call Myspace...Sit a while and chew the fat with me...maybe I'll tell you a story...maybe we are just someone elses story, played out on the lips of their imagination...
...who knows?
I am currently working on my two latest novels, SLAVIS and STONE COLD SNAKE EYES (the later being co-written with Eric Enk).
Other projects awaiting release include...
TRANQUILITY, a novella from SCREAMING DREAMS.
GHOST WRITER, an e-book from SCREAMING DREAMS
VALHALLA UNLEASHED, a zombie short from BLU PHI'ER
One other project that really needs a mention is...
THE EDWARD BALLISTER PROJECT...This experiment in novel writing is growing by the day. You can find them in my top friends to find out just what is happening.
I have three completed novels in what 'we writers' call 'out there'. I'd like to think you'd search at least one of them out and give it a try...even come back and let me know what you think.
They are as follows...
These three titles are avaiable direct from www.hadesgate.co.uk
