Celebrating the publication of my occult horror novella series The Daniel Gates Adventures in paperback by baking a batch of banana and chocolate mini muffins (with a fresh pot of coffee as standard).
Previously available in ebook or very limited hardcover only, this paperback release means all of my books are now in print!
I hope you’ll pick up a copy and let me know what you think of the stories.
Contained within the pages of this handsome paperback are four novellas: The Lucifer Glass, The Leper Window, The Lilyth Mirror, The Lucifer Gate, which take Daniel (and you the reader) on a hellish journey from the lochs of Scotland to the ancient castles and churches of Wales, from the occult secrets of Turin and maybe even into the depths of Hell itself. Bring coffee! And a muffin!
Content warning: Green-eyed demons, timey wimey weirdness, cursed grimoires, alcohol induced hallucinations, and (sp)lashings of blood n’ gore.
My thanks to the awesome two Davids at Crossroad Press/Macabre Ink for putting together another lovely book!
Buy your copy now!

Celebrating the release of my debut Doctor Who audiobook Gobbledegook today with a nice cup of tea.
It has been an exciting day & I even got a little mention on the official Doctor Who website! Not only that but my very own ‘TARDIS fam’ gifted me this beautiful framed cover art for my birthday in February. It’s now hanging in pride of place above my desk. I love how the artist included a steaming cup of tea in the Fifth Doctor’s hand, and Velar the space armadillo looks just how I pictured him.
Here’s the story synopsis:
Gobbledegook by Frazer Lee
Chief librarian Velar’s beloved books are being returned with their text completely garbled at planet Batear’s largest library. Batearian books are living things, organically linked via the ancient cave system where they are shelved. Unless Velar’s old friend the Doctor can detect a pattern in the chaos, Batear’s entire cultural history will become gobbledegook!
Gobbledegook is available as part of the Conflicts of Interest box set on download/cd from Big Finish Productions.
The box set includes two full cast audio adventures Friendly Fire by John Dorney and The Edge of the War by Jonathan Barnes. (I’m listening to Friendly Fire as I type this blog post, and it’s brilliant, really gripping!)
My 60min story Gobbledegook is narrated by the amazing Dan Starkey with music and special effects, and you can listen to it in the Big Finish app (just tap ‘Bonus’) or download via BigFinish.com under Bonus Content.
I really hope you enjoy my Gobbledegook as much as I enjoyed writing it! I’m grateful to John Dorney, David Richardson & all at Big Finish for letting me hop aboard the TARDIS.
Thanks for listening,

My sixth novel #GreyfriarsReformatory is unleashed today in hardcover, paperback and ebook. I can honestly say that Greyfriars Reformatory is my scariest story yet, and I hope you enjoy being spooked by #TheGreyGirl as much as I did when I was writing her.
Emily Drake is institutionalised at experimental facility Greyfriars Reformatory and finds that icy Principal Quick and cruel bully Saffy are the least of her problems when the terrifying apparition of the Grey Girl begins haunting the new inmates – to death. Is Emily’s acute dissociative disorder the one thing that can save her?
My thanks to editor Don D’Auria for always having my back, and to all at Flame Tree Press for supporting the book, and to Simon & Schuster for distributing Greyfriars Reformatory so that it may haunt homes far and wide.
And thanks to anyone who reads, and reviews, the book, I truly appreciate it.

Release day for my new folk horror novel Hearthstone Cottage passed by in a blur!
The dawn sky provided a suitably spooky herald of the day ahead.
Social media lit up in a Halloween-orange glow of publicity with f(r)iends, family, and other readers sharing their congratulations & photos of their copies of the book. My thanks to you all!
Hearthstone Cottage even crept up on the horror fantasy radar…
When I finally returned home to dusky Lee Cottage, I found a big box of books waiting for me.
My author copies had arrived! I particularly enjoyed getting my talons on the hardcover edition (my first hardcover title, to date, and hopefully not the last).
Cheers to all of you for making it such a fun launch day!
I will be posting details of an upcoming blog tour very soon.
Until then, i hope you will pick up a copy of Hearthstone Cottage. And when you do, I hope it gives you nightmares.
Beast witches, Frazer x

Together in one volume, the first two novellas in the Daniel Gates Adventures.
“It may cost you your soul. ”
Daniel Gates is a fixer. Whatever his client wants, he can get for a price. But the price of his latest assignment is a high one indeed. He is to travel to Scotland to exchange a rare demonic text, a grimoire, for a consignment of even rarer whiskey. Reading the grimoire, Gates learns of the legend of Lucifer s Glass and the unholy trinity of green-eyed demons who protect it. As he does battle with the demons, Daniel realizes too late that there is much more to his assignment than meets the eye. He is locked in a struggle to save his very soul from damnation.
“Do not gaze into its secrets.”
Daniel Gates’s last assignment involving a rare demonic book left him plagued by hideous nightmares, which are about to get even worse. When a page is stolen from Choronzon’s Grimoire, Daniel is sent to the wilds of North Wales to retrieve it for his mysterious client. But the stolen page contains dark, occult secrets, and he finds to his peril that he is not the only one desperate to find it. Daniel’s journey takes him to the very brink of madness and to the demons that await—beyond the Leper Window.
note to self – if you come across a demonic grimoire in your local library, maybe just put it back on the shelf…
I’m celebrating the release of my new occult novella The Leper Window today.

Thanks for reading,
