Paul Clark

Paul Clark is a British writer, currently living in New Zealand, where he studies and teaches creative writing at various levels. He specializes in horror writing, but has published a range of speculative fiction in flash and short story form. As a graduate of the Iowa Writers' Workshop, writing has been central to his life, although he spent many years as a Historian, which helped him develop a love of historical fiction. Horror and history are a great combination.

Samuel’s Way

14th March, 1643.
An eccentric old woman. Creaky and bent. Snarling. Haggard. Annie Parsons hunched in her chair, dribbling and murmuring. Clumps of lank, grey hair shrouded part of her face. Grime made the whiteness of her shift barely visible. It clung to her body like a loose skin. Her bony wrists and ankles bore the sores of a long spell in irons.
Samuel Hawke loomed over her, arms folded, about to perform his service for the town and the county of Hampshire, and more importantly, for God.
