Check out her creepy cushions!

These are the 2 authors we have in the Haunted Basement…

N.J. Hallard

A self-published author and self-taught illustrator, Nick Hallard’s first novel Breaking News: an Autozombiographyis about a horror movie nut who has to deal with a real-life outbreak of the stinking undead one long, hot summer on the south coast of England. As a zombie geek he has this day pretty much planned already. But persuading his wife, friends and others to join him on his quest for survival might go slightly less smoothly…Nick is writing a sequel – Rising Up: an Autozombiography. He lives in West Sussex with his wife, child, cat and his haplessly befuddled beagle Floyd.  Catch him in the Haunted Basement where he’ll be signing copies of his book and artwork.

Lisamarie Lamb

At 12 she wrote her first novel during the school summer holidays. Loosely based on the Famous Five, with a bit of James Bond thrown in, it was an adventure story and her teacher made her read some of it out in class. And that’s when she realised that she wanted people to hear her stories and read her work.  Over the intervening years she has written various short stories, plays, poems and novels in different genres, including romance and children’s books. But it turns out that horror, the macabre, the slightly off, is her true love.  Catch Lisamarie in the Haunted Basement where she’ll be signing copies of her books.

Saffron Reichenbacker

Saffron is a Brighton based Artist and Illustrator.  In her work she attempts to create a world born out of obsessions with early cinema, vamps, flappers, vintage erotica, Mexican folk art, sultry sailors and fallen stars.  She sells her wares at fairs and markets and her beautiful work includes prints, badges, mirrors and magnets.

Yoram Allon / Wallflower Press

Wallflower Press is an independent publishing house specialising in cinema and the moving image. They are devoted to the publication of the highest-quality academic and popular literature in film, television and media studies Central to their list is the Short Cuts series, entry-level introductions to Film Studies for teachers and students of undergraduate courses. Thirty-eight titles within this unique series are already in print and the series will grow to well over sixty titles in the years ahead.  Parallel to this is the Directors’ Cuts series, higher-level monographs and edited collections on some of the world’s most innovative and influential filmmakers. Well over twenty titles in this series are now available, with many more on the way.

Billy Chainsaw

An eight-year-old Billy Chainsaw used Dick Smith’s now legendary Do-It-Yourself Monster Make-up Handbookto transform himself into something beyond hideous – so he could scare a visiting neighbour. Much to his delight, it worked a treat. After the initial shock, Billy’s female victim turned to his mom and said, “Don’t worry, he’ll grow out of it.” Fortunately, he never did! Which led to him carving out a niche for himself as one of the UK’s most notorious horror genre film critics and a maestro of all things weird!

Now the legendary Billy Chainsaw, film/dvd editor of Bizarre magazine and columnist for Shock Horror Magazine has launched his own range of some of the gnarliest and downright deliciously demented greetings cards we’ve ever seen!

Phoebe Kirk is a freelance illustrator/Designer working out of Brighton. Her Work revolves around subjects such as Gaming culture, Horror Movies and the oh so glamorous tradition of Burlesque. Primarily a digital artist, Kirk’s designs have been noted for having a comic book feel to them, opting for bold colourings and animated characters which portray a great amount of attitude, not unlike the artist her self! Kirk’s other work includes hand-crafted elements such as her range of Burlesque ‘Pasties’. Each painstakingly decorated to depict themes such as Vampire culture and the alternative scene.  All in all, an artist to keep your eye on.

These are just the tip of the iceberg with even more stalls already confirmed! If you would like a stall in The Macabre Market just email Scaresarah@gmail.com for details!

FRIGHTEN BRIGHTON is pleased to announce that local horror writer N.J.Hallard, author of Breaking News: An Autozombiography will be joining us once again for another spooky book signing! Join Nick in the Haunted Basement with fellow horror writer Lisamarie Lamb (Somebody’s at the Door, Mother’s Helper) on Saturday 25th February from 12 noon at The Rock Inn, Brighton.

If you’re a horror fan and you love zombies, you will not want to miss out on a chance to buy a copy of Breaking News signed by Mr Hallard himself! He will also be able to give you exclusive updates on the upcoming sequel Rising Up: An Autozombiography!

This is what N.J.Hallard has to say about Breaking News -

“My first novel Breaking News: an Autozombiography is about a horror movie nut who has to deal with a real-life outbreak of the stinking undead one long, hot summer on the south coast of England. As a zombie geek he has this day pretty much planned already. But persuading his wife, friends and others to join him on his quest for survival might go slightly less smoothly…”
