AN AUTHOR from Kenilworth is set to release a new collection of horror stories based in a Warwickshire town this month.
The collection, ‘Once More Round the Sun’ is Dave Musson’s first full collection and consists of 13 books set in a fictionalised version of his hometown, Kingsworth.
Dave has lived in Kenilworth almost a decade and grew up in Bulkington where he was a student at King Henry VIII School in Coventry.
He said: “With Kingsworth, I’ve tried to create a typical sleepy Warwickshire town.
“Kingsworth is somewhere that is, without doubt, a nice place to visit. There’s a castle, great schools, and lots of green space to enjoy.
“But, like most nice places to visit, if you scratch the surface, you’ll find something a little darker.
“You know the kind of thing; unsettling stories that locals love to tell outsiders with the sole purpose of getting under their skin.
“Kingsworth is no different…there’s plenty to discover among its streets and homes that the local tourist board wouldn’t want you to hear about.
“But I’d certainly love to show you some of the skeletons in this town’s closet.”
Dave writes in his spare time and is the author of 2023’s Tiny Tales of Terror mini collections of flash fiction.
His new collection will be available from August, 13.
