Some things to bear in mind. - Personal abuse has no place on this board unless you have a prior arrangement with the individual on the receiving end because "they go in for that kind of stuff".
- Private messages, private emails are private. That's why they're called 'private'. They have no place on a public forum.
- If you have lots of books, i'm pleased for you, you're like quite a number of people on here. Nobody's impressed. Frankly, no one cares. That's not what this has been about at all.
- The rankings are utterly meaningless. It's not a competition.
- Vault is not a free advertising hoarding. Mention your book once by all means, and hopefully it will get a good response. Don't keep bumping it yourself.
That's about it. Welcome to Vault of Evil: The post-audience years. Thank you for joining and i hope you have fun here. |

It means quite simply that, anyone who receives a private message should respect the privacy of the sender and not repeat the contents on the board - they were made to them in PRIVATE, after all. Presumably, if the sender wanted everyone to read their message, they'd have posted it.

When you say you can "mention your book once", does that mean you can also include the url to your book in the body of the message, or does it have to be confined to just your signature?

Include the link in your signature by all means, but please, no banners, thank you in advance. The British Fantasy Society Forum have a 'Promote Your Own Projects' section. The recently revived Filthy Creations forum actively encourage self-promotion (or, at least, they did: best check with Calenture and Craig first), as do Shocklines. If you've not yet done so, you might like to notify all three of your book(s). |

I think though I'd vastly prefer to have the 'I've written a book' thread preceded by some posts showing a vague interest in the board. |

Not sure if this is the place for me to announce my purpose: to wit, am looking for the proper title and associated details of the scariest tv or any other fiction I've ever ever seen; my husband at the time and I were so unnerved by one of the episodes that we actually turned off the set. I'm aching to find out if our imaginations were a casualty of the time and place (out in the English countryside, big house, big OLD house, on the verge of divorce, strained emotional atmosphere, etc.) or if the stories were as terrifying as I remember them. Each episode was self-contained - but here's the thing: an explanation for the events could be supernatural - or not. One that I remember involved a young wife, not happy in the marriage, who buys an antique brass bedstead off the street. Gradually her dreams, while asleep in the bed, become more and more real to her after waking, and the dreams become more and more terrifying - and sexual. Their erotic nature, combined with the fear, is truly creepy. Finally, she doesn't wake up. Has she been killed by her phantom lover? Died of natural causes? Is the bedstead an agent of the dark forces, and will the next person sleeping in it die, also? Did the seller of the bed know about its terrible history? I saw these programs sometime in the autumn of1973. Thanks! Moviegoers posting messages on this site seem to know a lot about BBC horror stories, a lot more than I do or did. That series was the only one of its kind that I saw - while living in the UK...we saw Monty Python, but that's about all, we were terribly exhausted by work at the U. and so the series mentioned in this message was the only one we ever saw. Pretty meager info to ask you to depend on in posting an answer, sorry, a long, long, time ago for sure. |

Pretty meager info to ask you to depend on in posting an answer, sorry, a long, long, time ago for sure. I've not seen it, but according to the wonderful Haunted TV site, BBC2 ran a seven episode series, Dead Of Night, toward the end of 1972. The third episode was Bedtime. Unfortunately, only three episodes survive - The Exorcism, A Woman Sobbing and Return Flight. Do these opening titles bring back memories? You might also like to track down Graham Masterton's Bridal Suite, and Terry Tapp's The Bed in New Terrors and the 17th Fontana Book of Ghost Stories respectively, as these cover very similar territory. |

Excuse me for any sense of humour bypass, but if anybody has breached a confidence then they sure as hell ain't Vault material. If you have a legitimate complaint on that score, please pm me. If I find that a person has trangressed the one rule they are expected to abide by, they are out. |

i was just speaking generally....from Sean at the david icke forum going through folks pms....to ebay giving out personal infor to rapists and heavily armed psychopaths....to BT publishing everybody's name and address on the internet (i was working there at the time) 15 years ago resulting in hundred of murders and knee cappings and worse...Jill Dando most famous of which. Mr Snowden only revealed what we political dissidents long knew already- i applaud your efforts! but with this software perps have backdoors in anyway and you can't even see when they do.....

As a published Kindle horror book author, I would just like to know what are the rules for mentioning any published books here? I ask this because I don't want to be accused of spamming if I do mention all the books I have had published, along with their Amazon url links.
