Author Tim Reed has been published several times in the short story and novella field, in both the US and UK, spreading his net on the fantasy, weird tale and horror genres. His latest work is Spider From The Well ( reviewed by Horror Palace) which takes a man and his wife who are on holiday in New Forest to a place they never expected to go.
After discovering a tattered diary and reading it, they become drawn into a tale of a bereaving man from 
the 19th Century, who has visions of a green sun and creatures clambering from the well outside his house. Slowly, as madness takes him, these cosmic visions intensify and he finds himself under siege; his daughter, pet cat and his independence are under dire threat, leaving him alone, afraid, and at the mercy of horrific, otherworldly invaders. He witnesses alternate histories of the world, grim futures, and at the end of all, a dreadful predator patiently broods – hoping to sate its hunger. What fate awaits the Victorian man?
Will the diary reveal secrets best left in dust? And what is the ultimate purpose of the green sun, looming over the Earth like an emerald?
Reed he has a love of well-written fantasy and supernatural fiction – both old and modern – and cites Algernon Blackwood and H P Lovecraft as his primary literary inspirations. He professes himself an Author of Speculative Fiction.
