A Hospital for Boys

I wrote a short story, a creepy and strange short story called A Hospital for Boys, and now you can buy it as an ebook, here or on Amazon.

If you buy it from me, you get it in a neat little .zip file with .txt, .pdf, .epub and .mobi versions, and you get to pay what you want. If you get it from Amazon it’ll cost you about a pound.

Either way, I hope you like it. I’m proud of it.

Jessie Price was kind enough to design the cover and Sam Binnie to write the copy.
