♥ Hello! Thanks for taking a look at my desperate Patreon blurb. :) ♥

When you join my Patreon VIP cult – sorry, cough, I totally meant to say club there – you will gain various perks, depending on the level (or 'tier') at which you choose to pledge. Here are a few examples: 

  • A personal thank you video from me, in the week after you sign up
  • Your name onscreen at the end of my YouTube videos - and maybe also an Associate Producer credit
  • Early access to those YouTube videos, whenever possible
  • A gushing thank you postcard from me every six months - or 12 months, depending on pledge tier. 
  • Other random stuff through in the mail! This summer, I decided to send each of my Cardiac Arrest level patrons at least 10 horror DVDs from my collection (see the post I made about this, which will open in a new tab)! Earlier in 2022, I sent them each a totally unique Jack Sparks proof page.
  • Being thanked in the back of my new books! 😮

You really don't have to pledge big in order to feel involved and get fun stuff, though. I keep in touch with my patrons every single week, with written updates, blogs or vlogs that can be seen by ALL patrons, from the 'Chilling' £2 tier and up. I love that we can all communicate directly here, without algorithms or email spam filters getting in the way. 

Here are just a few highlights of universal posts I've made for ALL patrons over the last couple of years:

  • Walking With Patreons - my monthly vlog in which I stroll around, wherever I am in the world, while talking to camera and updating patrons on all the latest, professionally, and often personally, speaking.
  • A PDF of my short sci-fi horror story The Nothing Men, which is otherwise only available in the 2018 US anthology Resist: Tales From A Future Worth Fighting Against.
  • Blogs about my personal life and experiences in lockdown.
  • My 50-minute video chat about writing with Doctor Who writer James Moran, which we recorded exclusively for our patrons.
  • A YouTube blooper reel.
  • An Ask Me Anything Text Q&A.
  • Not only early access to my latest YouTube videos, but the odd extended version for patrons only!
  • A PDF of my 2009 interview with Tom Baker, originally published in Doctor Who Magazine. This new offering has a new foreword from me.
  • Personal family photos
  • A video in which I show patrons Brighton landmarks that feature in my 2019 novel Ghoster
  • Unedited versions of interviews with me for SFX and Doctor Who Magazine

When you pledge, you gain access to all this archive content, as well as whatever I offer next, for as long as you remain a member.

Your patronage will also help me to: 
  • feel more secure as a writer of frightening fiction (a hugely fun career, but one whose financial instability is, aptly, terrifying.)
  • support my family. This one, in particular, means the absolute world to me - especially in this bewilderingly unstable current era in which we find ourselves - and so I like to treat my patrons like major deities.

I'm already excited to have launched a new private cult (goodness me, why do I keep saying that?!? Club!). Let’s build this thing together! The bigger it gets, the more goals I’ll hit and the more time I can devote to keeping my patrons happy and pampered and scared out of their wits.

If I reach my next pledge goal, I will make available a deleted chapter from my novel The Last Days Of Jack Sparks. I mean, obviously it was deleted for a reason, but should be interesting to read - especially in conjunction with my explanation of why it was snipped. 

Still reading? Maybe browse the various pledge tiers I’m offering and pick one that shrieks loudest. You don't have to pledge the precise amount quoted on each tier - think of the various levels as minimums for that tier and that set of perks. One creative patron pledged £6.66, for instance, and so receives all the perks associated with the £5 tier, but not the additional bits available from the £10 tier and up.

TEDIOUS BUT VITAL PAYMENT INFO: When you join this VIP club, you are charged up front for your entire first calendar month of patronage, regardless of which day in the month you pledge. For example, if you pledge £10 on September 14, you'll be charged £10 upfront, and then charged £10 again for the next month on October 1. You will then continue to be charged on the first day of each month that follows (provided you decide to continue supporting me, of course - you can cancel at any time!) Take a look at this page which explains in detail how the payment system works. The last thing I want is for anyone to feel surprised or blindsided by payments being taken.

IMPORTANT: Patreon is far from the only way to support me! Buying my books is 100% support. There are also countless ways to back me that don't involve cash-money. When you read, recommend or review one of my books, or subscribe to my YouTube channels or newsletters, or even Like my posts on Twitter or Instagram, that's all wonderful support. You are no less of a fan for not supporting me on Patreon.

ALSO IMPORTANT: I regularly stress to my patrons that they should come and go as they see fit, or as they need to. If you pledge, then need to stop for whatever reason, there is absolutely ZERO need to contact me and explain. :) I will simply be happy that you have been my patron for as long as you were willing/able. 

Any further questions or feedback? Benefits you'd like to see, but which just aren't there? Any concerns or worries or annoyances that are preventing you from joining? Drop me a line via my site. Thanks for reading and I look forward to welcoming you to this cult.

Club.

Club, club, club. 😈
