Reviews for A WRETCHED PLACE include —>
"I would recommend to fans of existential thought process, monsters, and visceral horror." - ☆☆☆☆
"I had a blast with every part of this book, from characters to plot to story-telling, and I especially liked the way of actually approaching the eldritch/new gods and how their appearance would devastate and factionalize humanity." - ☆☆☆☆
"No sappy Hollywood bs." - ☆☆☆☆☆

Wayne Goodchild isn't a pseudonym, which also isn't one of those 'deny something that's actually true' scenarios.
He's had over thirty stories published up to now.
Most were in invite-only anthologies, alongside other horror and science fiction writers he still can't believe he got to share page space with.
Wayne Goodchild is originally from Scunthorpe, which is the only town in the whole of England that's twinned with its own rubbish dump.
He spent time living in Australia, the US, and Colombia, and currently lives in Slovenia with his wife and their two boys.
He loves beans on toast and quality balcony time with a good gin and tonic.
